DataComPy is a package to compare two Pandas DataFrames. Originally started to
be something of a replacement for SAS's PROC COMPARE for Pandas DataFrames
with some more functionality than just Pandas.DataFrame.equals(Pandas.DataFrame)
(in that it prints out some stats, and lets you tweak how accurate matches have to be).
Then extended to carry that functionality over to Spark Dataframes.
pip install datacompyor
conda install datacompyIf you would like to use Spark or any other backends please make sure you install via extras:
pip install datacompy[spark]
pip install datacompy[dask]
pip install datacompy[duckdb]
pip install datacompy[polars]
pip install datacompy[ray]
The original SparkCompare implementation differs from all the other native implementations. To align the API better, and keep behaviour consistent we are deprecating SparkCompare into a new module LegacySparkCompare
If you wish to use the old SparkCompare moving forward you can
import datacompy.legacy.LegacySparkCompareDifferent versions of Spark, Pandas, and Python interact differently. Below is a matrix of what we test with. With the move to Pandas on Spark API and compatability issues with Pandas 2+ we will for the mean time note support Pandas 2 with the Pandas on Spark implementation. Spark plans to support Pandas 2 in Spark 4
With version 0.12.0:
- Not support Pandas
2.0.0For the native Spark implemention - Spark
3.1support will be dropped - Python
3.8support is dropped

Note
At the current time Python 3.12 is not supported by Spark and also Ray within Fugue.
- Pandas: (See documentation)
- Spark (Pandas on Spark API): (See documentation)
- Polars (Experimental): (See documentation)
- Fugue is a Python library that provides a unified interface for data processing on Pandas, DuckDB, Polars, Arrow, Spark, Dask, Ray, and many other backends. DataComPy integrates with Fugue to provide a simple way to compare data across these backends. Please note that Fugue will use the Pandas (Native) logic at its lowest level (See documentation)
