spark does not read all orc files from different folder using merge schema












2














I have three different orc files in three different folder, I want to read them all in to one data frame in one shot.



user1.orc at /data/user1/



+-------------------+--------------------+
| userid | name |
+-------------------+--------------------+
| 1 | aa |
| 6 | vv |
+-------------------+--------------------+


user2.orc at /data/user2/



+-------------------+--------------------+
| userid | info |
+-------------------+--------------------+
| 11 | i1 |
| 66 | i6 |
+-------------------+--------------------+


user3.orc at /data/user3/



+-------------------+--------------------+
| userid | con |
+-------------------+--------------------+
| 12 | 888 |
| 17 | 123 |
+-------------------+--------------------+


I want to read all these at once and have the dataframe like below



+-------------------+--------------------+--------------------+----------+
| userid | name | info | con |
+-------------------+--------------------+--------------------+----------+
| 1 | aa | null | null |
| 6 | vv | null | null |
| 11 | null | i1 | null |
| 66 | null | i6 | null |
| 12 | null | null | 888 |
| 17 | null | null | 123 |


so I used like this



val df =spark.read.option("mergeSchema","true").orc("file:///home/hadoop/data/")


but its giving the common column across all files



+-------------------+
| userid |
+-------------------+
| 1 |
| 6 |
| 11 |
| 66 |
| 12 |
| 17 |


So how to read all these three files in one shot ?
