Match the following types of joins with their descriptions:
Match the following types of joins with their descriptions:
Inner Join = Returns only the rows that have matching values in both DataFrames Left Join = Returns all rows from the left DataFrame and matched rows from the right Right Join = Returns all rows from the right DataFrame and matched rows from the left Full Outer Join = Returns all rows when there is a match in either DataFrame
Match the following DataFrame examples with their corresponding output for a left join:
Match the following DataFrame examples with their corresponding output for a left join:
df1 = {1: 'Alice', 2: 'Bob'} = Returns all rows from df1 with matched rows from df2 or NULL df2 = {1: 'Alice', 3: 'Charlie'} = Matched rows from df2 for existing keys in df1 df1 keys: {1, 2} = Keys exist in left DataFrame df1 df2 keys: {1, 3} = Keys exist in right DataFrame df2
Match the following DataFrame descriptions with the type of join they reference:
Match the following DataFrame descriptions with the type of join they reference:
Returns NULL for unmatched rows on right = Left Join Includes all rows with possible NULLs = Full Outer Join Returns only matching keys from both DataFrames = Inner Join Returns NULL for unmatched rows on left = Right Join

Study Notes
ELT with Apache Spark
- Extract data from a single file using
spark.read
. Follow appropriate format: CSV, JSON, Parquet. - Extract data from a directory of files using
spark.read
. Spark automatically reads all files in the directory. - Identify the prefix after the
FROM
keyword in Spark SQL to determine data type. Common prefixes includecsv
,parquet
,json
. - Create a view: a temporary display of data
- Create a temporary view: a temporary display of data available only during the session
- Create a CTE (Common Table Expression): temporary result sets for use in queries
- Identify external source tables that are not Delta Lake tables. Check naming or format.
- Create a table from a JDBC connection using
spark.read.jdbc
. Specify the URL, table, and properties for the connection. - Create a table from an external CSV file using
spark.read.csv
. - Deduplicate rows from an existing Delta Lake table by creating a new table from the existing table while removing duplicate rows. To use deduplication specify columns in
.dropDuplicates()
. - Identify how the count_if function and count_where_x_is_null functions are used in Apache Spark to perform counts with conditional occurrences. Use
count
along withwhen
andisNull
function from PySpark SQL. The functioncount
in Spark SQL inherently omitsNULL
values. - Validate a primary key by verifying all primary key values are unique.
- Validate that a field is associated with just one unique value in another field using
.groupBy()
and.agg(countDistinct())
- Validate that a value is not present in a specific field by using the
filter()
function or.count()
. - Cast a column to a timestamp using
withColumn("TimestampDate",col("StringDate").cast("timestamp"))
- Extract calendar data (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) from a timestamp column using
year
,month
,dayofmonth
,hour
,minute
, andsecond
functions. - Extract a specific pattern from an existing string column using
regexp_extract
. - Extract nested data fields using the dot syntax. (e.g.,
Details.address.city
) - Describe the benefits of using array functions (explode, flatten).
- Describe the PIVOT clause as a way to convert data from a long format to a wide format.
- Define a SQL UDF using a Python function and registering the UDF in Spark SQL.
- Identify the location of a function(built-in, user-defined, and custom).
- Describe the security model for sharing SQL UDFs.
- Use
CASE WHEN
in SQL code to perform conditional logic in queries.
