Exercise

Validate rows via join

Another example of filtering data is using joins to remove invalid entries. You'll need to verify the folder names are as expected based on a given DataFrame named valid_folders_df. The DataFrame split_df is as you last left it with a group of split columns.

The spark object is available, and pyspark.sql.functions is imported as F.

Rename the _c0 column to folder on the valid_folders_df DataFrame.
Count the number of rows in split_df.
Join the two DataFrames on the folder name, and call the resulting DataFrame joined_df. Make sure to broadcast the smaller DataFrame.
Check the number of rows remaining in the DataFrame and compare.
