🤔 THE QUESTION

How do we match records that meet at least one of multiple status criteria?

💡 WHAT IS IT?

Using the bitwise | operator between parenthesized boolean conditions to enforce logical OR.

🎯 WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Monitoring pending or processing orders in fulfillment queues and alert dispatch systems.

💻 EXAMPLE
from pyspark.sql.functions import col

df.filter(
    (col("status") == "PENDING") |
    (col("status") == "PROCESSING")
).show()

🎯 Mission Objectives

Practice typing production-grade PySpark code for Logical OR Filter Conditions.

  • Combine conditions with | operator
  • Enforce logical OR predicate
  • Filter active queue statuses
