I am using Spark 2.1.0.

When I execute the following code I'm getting an error from Spark. Why? How to fix it?

val i1 = Seq(("a", "string"), ("another", "string"), ("last", "one")).toDF("a", "b")

val i2 = Seq(("one", "string"), ("two", "strings")).toDF("a", "b")

val i1Idx = i1.withColumn("sourceId", lit(1))

val i2Idx = i2.withColumn("sourceId", lit(2))

val input = i1Idx.union(i2Idx)

val weights = Seq((1, 0.6), (2, 0.4)).toDF("sourceId", "weight")

weights.join(input, "sourceId").show

Error:

scala> weights.join(input, "sourceId").show

org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Detected cartesian product for INNER join between logical plans

Join condition is missing or trivial.

Use the CROSS JOIN syntax to allow cartesian products between these relations.;

You can triggers inner join after turning on the flag

spark.conf.set("spark.sql.crossJoin.enabled", "true")

You also could also use the cross join.

weights.crossJoin(input)

or set the Alias as

weights.join(input, input("sourceId")===weights("sourceId"), "cross")

You can find more about the issue SPARK-6459 which is said to be fixed in 2.1.1

As you have already used 2.1.1 the issue should have been fixed.

Hope this helps!

tl;dr Upgrade to Spark 2.1.1. It's an issue in Spark that was fixed.

(I really wished I could also show you the exact change that fixed that in 2.1.1)
