Hossein Falaki commented on SPARK-9318: --------------------------------------- I agree with the issue being discussed. SparkR should have called this signature of join: {code} def join(right: DataFrame, usingColumns: Seq[String]): DataFrame {code} This version of DataFrame.join makes sure only a single join column is returned. Right now the join (and merge) behavior in SparkR is not what R users expect. > Add `merge` as synonym for join > ------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-9318 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9318 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: SparkR > Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman > Assignee: Hossein Falaki > Fix For: 1.5.0 > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
