Join

Description

Join two DataFrames based on the given join expression.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'DataFrame,DataFrame'
join(x, y, joinExpr = NULL, joinType = NULL)

Arguments

x

A Spark DataFrame

y

A Spark DataFrame

joinExpr

(Optional) The expression used to perform the join. joinExpr must be a Column expression. If joinExpr is omitted, join() will perform a Cartesian join

joinType

The type of join to perform. The following join types are available: 'inner', 'outer', 'full', 'fullouter', leftouter', 'left_outer', 'left', 'right_outer', 'rightouter', 'right', and 'leftsemi'. The default joinType is "inner".

Value

A DataFrame containing the result of the join operation.
