[jira] [Created] (SPARK-12520) Python API dataframe join returns wrong results on outer join

Aravind  B created SPARK-12520:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Python API dataframe join returns wrong results on outer join
                 Key: SPARK-12520
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12520
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PySpark
    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
            Reporter: Aravind  B


Consider the following dataframes:

"""
left_table:
+------------+------------+---------+--------------+
|head_id_left|tail_id_left|weight|joining_column|
+------------+------------+---------+--------------+
|           1|           2|        1|           1~2|
+------------+------------+---------+--------------+

right_table:
+-------------+-------------+--------------+
|head_id_right|tail_id_right|joining_column|
+-------------+-------------+--------------+
+-------------+-------------+--------------+
"""

The following code returns an empty dataframe:

"""
joined_table = left_table.join(right_table, "joining_column", "outer")
"""

joined_table has zero rows. 

However:

"""
joined_table = left_table.join(right_table, left_table.joining_column == right_table.joining_column, "outer")
"""

returns the correct answer with one row.
