Topic #: 1
Which of the following commands will return the number of null values in the member_id column?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

To return the number of null values in the member_id column, the best option is to use the count_if function, which counts the number of rows that satisfy a given condition. In this case, the condition is that the member_id column is null. The other options are either incorrect or not supported by Spark SQL. Option A will return the number of non-null values in the member_id column. Option B will not work because there is no count_null function in Spark SQL. Option D will not work because there is no null function in Spark SQL.
Option E will not work because there is no count_null function in Spark SQL. References:
