Compare two Spark dataframes

Question

Spark dataframe 1 -:

+------+-------+---------+----+---+-------+
|city  |product|date     |sale|exp|wastage|
+------+-------+---------+----+---+-------+
|cit         


        

Answer 1

I am not sure about finding the deleted and modified records but you can use except function to get the difference

df2.except(df1)

This returns the rows that has been added or modified in dataframe2 or record with changes. Output:

+------+-------+---------+----+---+-------+
|  city|product|     date|sale|exp|wastage|
+------+-------+---------+----+---+-------+
|city 3| prod 4|9/18/2017| 230|431|    169|
|city 1| prod 4|9/27/2017| 350| 90|    190|
|city 1| prod 3|9/9/2017 | 230|430|    160|
+------+-------+---------+----+---+-------+

You can also try with join and filter to get the changed and unchanged data as

df1.join(df2, Seq("city","product", "date"), "left").show(false)
df1.join(df2, Seq("city","product", "date"), "right").show(false)

Hope this helps!
