             Summary: Introducing get_dummies method in pyspark
                 Key: SPARK-30449
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30449
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: PySpark
    Affects Versions: 2.4.4
            Reporter: Krishna Kumar Tiwari


Introducing get_dummies method in pyspark same as pandas.

Many times when using categorical variable and we want to flatten the data to do one-hot encoding to generate columns and fill the matrix, get_dummies is very useful in that scenario.

 

The objective here is to introduce get_dummies to pyspark.
