问题
I looked at the docs and it says the following join types are supported:
Type of join to perform. Default inner. Must be one of: inner, cross, outer, full, full_outer, left, left_outer, right, right_outer, left_semi, left_anti.
I looked at the StackOverflow answer on SQL joins and top couple of answers do not mention some of the joins from above e.g. left_semi and left_anti. What do they mean in Spark?
回答1:
Here is a simple illustrative experiment:
import org.apache.spark.sql._
object SparkSandbox extends App {
private[this] implicit val spark = SparkSession.builder().master("local[*]").getOrCreate()
import spark.implicits._
spark.sparkContext.setLogLevel("ERROR")
val left = Seq((1, "A1"), (2, "A2"), (3, "A3"), (4, "A4")).toDF("id", "value")
val right = Seq((3, "A3"), (4, "A4"), (4, "A4_1"), (5, "A5"), (6, "A6")).toDF("id", "value")
println("LEFT")
left.orderBy("id").show()
println("RIGHT")
right.orderBy("id").show()
val joinTypes = Seq("inner", "outer", "full", "full_outer", "left", "left_outer", "right", "right_outer", "left_semi", "left_anti")
joinTypes foreach { joinType =>
println(s"${joinType.toUpperCase()} JOIN")
left.join(right = right, usingColumns = Seq("id"), joinType = joinType).orderBy("id").show()
}
}
Output

Loved Pathikrit's example. Here is a possible translation in Java using Spark v2 and dataframes, including cross-join.

public class AllJoinsApp {
/**

public static void main(String[] args) {
AllJoinsApp app = new AllJoinsApp();
app.start();
}
/**

List<Row> rows = new ArrayList<Row>();

"left_semi", // v2.0.0, was leftsemi before v2.1.1
"left_anti" // v2.1.1
};
for (String joinType : joinTypes) {
System.out.println(joinType.toUpperCase() + " JOIN");
Dataset<Row> df = dfLeft.join(
dfRight,
dfLeft.col("id").equalTo(dfRight.col("id")),
joinType);
df.orderBy(dfLeft.col("id")).show();
}
}
}
I'll put this example in the Spark in Action, 2e's chapter 12 repository.

Spark data frame support following types of joins between two dataframes.
Please find the list of joins and joining string with respect to join types along with scala syntax.
We can use following joining values used for specify the join type in Scala- Spark code.
***Mathod:*** Leftdataframe.join(Rightdataframe, join_conditions, joinStringName)
Join Name : Join String name in scala -Spark code
1. inner : 'inner'
2. cross: 'cross'
3. outer: 'outer'
4. full: 'full'
5. full outer: 'fullouter'
6. left : 'left'
7. left outer : 'leftouter'
8. right : 'right'
9. right outer : 'rightouter'
10. left semi: 'leftsemi'
11. left anti: 'leftanti'
example: 1. Left Semi join:
Leftdataframe.join(Rightdataframe, join_conditions, "leftsemi");
2. inner Join Example:
Leftdataframe.join(Rightdataframe, join_conditions, "inner");
Its tested and working well.
回答4:
Left Semi returns rows where the join key is found in both tables, but it only includes the fields from the left table.
Left Anti returns rows where the join key is found only in the left table.
Good descriptions of the different join types: https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/impala_joins.html
