Hi all, currently only *temporary* Spark Views can be created from a DataFrame (df.createOrReplaceTempView or df.createOrReplaceGlobalTempView).
When I want a *permanent* Spark View I need to specify it via Spark SQL (CREATE VIEW AS SELECT ...). Sometimes it is easier to specify the desired logic of the View through Spark/PySpark DataFrame API. Therefore, I'd like to suggest to implement a new PySpark method that allows creating a *permanent* Spark View from a DataFrame (df.createOrReplaceView). see also: https://community.databricks.com/s/question/0D53f00001PANVgCAP/is-there-a-way-to-create-a-nontemporary-spark-view-with-pyspark Regards Martin
