Filtering a Pyspark DataFrame with SQL-like IN clause

Question

I want to filter a Pyspark DataFrame with a SQL-like IN clause, as in

sc = SparkContext()
sqlc = SQLContext(sc)
df = sqlc.sql(\'SELECT * from my         


        

Answer 1

reiterating what @zero323 has mentioned above : we can do the same thing using a list as well (not only set) like below

from pyspark.sql.functions import col

df.where(col("v").isin(["foo", "bar"])).count()
