PySpark — Retrieve matching rows from two Dataframes

Data integrity refers to the quality, consistency, and reliability of data throughout its life cycle. Data engineering pipelines are methods and structures that collect, transform, store, and analyse data from many sources.

If you are working as a PySpark developer, data engineer, data analyst, or data scientist for any organisation requires you to be familiar with dataframes because data manipulation is the act of transforming, cleansing, and organising raw data into a format that can be used for analysis and decision making.

For example, you have some user’s data in dataframe-1, and you have to new users’ data in a dataframe-2, then you must find out all the matched records from dataframe-2 and dataframe-1. In PySpark, you can retrieve matching rows from two Dataframes using the join operation.

The join operation combines rows from two Dataframes based on a common column.
