> I'm writing a PySpark application that joins a static and streaming dataframe together using the approxSimilarityJoin function from the ML package. Because of the high volume of data, we need to apply a watermark to make sure a minimal amount of state is preserved. However, the [approxSimilarityJoin scala code contains a `distinct` action|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/mllib/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/ml/feature/LSH.scala#L289]  right after it joins the two datasets together. This call results in a state being created to account for late arriving data. 
> Watermarks created in the PySpark code are being ignored and still lead to the state accumulating in size. 
> My expectation is that the watermarking is lost in between the communication from Python to Scala. 
> I've created [this Stackoverflow question|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64157104/stream-static-join-without-aggregation-still-results-in-accumulating-spark-state] earlier this week, but after more investigation this really seem like a bug rather than a user error.
