I tried looking over the stack overflow post and none of them Seems to cover the syntax validation. Do you know if it's even possible to do syntax validation in spark?

Moving this conversation to the user list and BCC-ing the dev list. Also, this statement > We are not validating against table or column existence. is not correct. When you call spark.sql(…), Spark will lookup the table references and fail with TABLE_OR_VIEW_NOT_FOUND if it cannot find them. Also, when you run DDL via spark.sql(…), Spark will actually run it. So spark.sql(“drop table my_table”) will actually drop my_table. It’s not a validation-only operation. This question of validating SQL is already discussed on Stack Overflow <https://stackoverflow.com/q/46973729/877069 >. You may find some useful tips there.

PySpark provides a method for syntax validation without executing the query. Something like below ____ __ / __/__ ___ _____/ /__ _\ \/ _ \/ _ `/ __/ '_/ /__ / .__/\_,_/_/ /_/\_\ version 3.4.0 /_/ Using Python version 3.9.16 (main, Apr 24 2023 10:36:11) Spark context Web UI available at http://rhes75:4040 <http://rhes75:4040/ > Spark context available as 'sc' (master = local[*], app id = local-1703410019374).

Syntax error: [PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near '<'.(line 1, pos 14) == SQL == SELECT * FROM <TABLE> WHERE <COLUMN> = some value --------------^^^ Here we only check for syntax errors and not the actual existence of query semantics. We are not validating against table or column existence. This method is useful when you want to catch obvious syntax errors before submitting your PySpark job to a cluster, especially when you don't have access to the actual data. In summary
* Theis method validates syntax but will not catch semantic errors * If you need more comprehensive validation, consider using a testing framework and a small dataset. * For complex queries, using a linter or code analysis tool can help identify potential issues.
