Summary: select doesnt validate if the column already exists Key: SPARK-38087 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-38087 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: Version{{{}v3.2.1{}}} {{}} {{{}{}}}Master{{{}local[*]{}}} {{(Reproducible in any environment)}} Reporter: Deepa Vasanthkumar Fix For: 3.3 Select doesnt validate whether the alias column is already present in the dataframe. However drop will not let you drop the said column. Scenario to reproduce : df2 = df1.select("*", (df1.firstname).alias("firstname")) ---> this will add same column df2.show() df2.drop(df2.firstname) --> this will give AnalysisException: Reference 'firstname' is ambiguous, could be: firstname, firstname. Is this expected behavior . !image-2022-02-02-06-28-23-543.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
