merge {SparkR}R Documentation

Merges two data frames

Description

Merges two data frames

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'DataFrame,DataFrame'
merge(x, y, by = intersect(names(x),
  names(y)), by.x = by, by.y = by, all = FALSE, all.x = all,
  all.y = all, sort = TRUE, suffixes = c("_x", "_y"), ...)

merge(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

the first data frame to be joined

y

the second data frame to be joined

by

a character vector specifying the join columns. If by is not specified, the common column names in x and y will be used.

by.x

a character vector specifying the joining columns for x.

by.y

a character vector specifying the joining columns for y.

all.x

a boolean value indicating whether all the rows in x should be including in the join

all.y

a boolean value indicating whether all the rows in y should be including in the join

sort

a logical argument indicating whether the resulting columns should be sorted

Details

If all.x and all.y are set to FALSE, a natural join will be returned. If all.x is set to TRUE and all.y is set to FALSE, a left outer join will be returned. If all.x is set to FALSE and all.y is set to TRUE, a right outer join will be returned. If all.x and all.y are set to TRUE, a full outer join will be returned.
