What does the command df registerTempTable do

0 votes

What does this command does, is to just register an empty table with no columns?

df.registerTempTable(“airports”)  

I read a csv file with test data I got the message that the table is being stored in HiveMetaStore. Is it a correct understanding that the way we created the table is not a Spark Temp View but a Hive table? If so, can we change the path of the HiveMetastore to a different value where I am keeping other Hive Tables?

Also, when I say show table, now I see that against "sal2" table "isTemporary" is set to False. Does this mean that this table will be available even to other sessions plus will be there even I close the session?

df.registerTempTable(“airports”) 

This command is used to register the dataframe df as a temporary table airports so that we are able to query the table.

Here, df is a dataframe which you need to create and airports are the temporary table.

Also, yes if temporary is set to false, means that the table will be available even after you close the session. The table is not temporary.
