Difference between createOrReplaceTempView and registerTempTable

Question

I am new to spark and was trying out a few commands in sparkSql using python when I came across these two commands:

createOrReplaceTempView() and regis

Answer 1

registerTempTable is a part of the 1.x API and has been deprecated in Spark 2.0.

createOrReplaceTempView and createTempView have been introduced in Spark 2.0, as a replacement for registerTempTable.

Other than that registerTempTable and createOrReplaceTempView functionally equivalent and the former one calls the latter one.
