+1 for outer join support

[Karlheinzniebuhr]

I've failed to run an outer merge (join) with pandas. Vaex was my hope but right now only left and right joins are supported. As requested by the documentation, I opened this issue to cast my vote in favor of inner and outer joins

Hi @Karlheinzniebuhr

Thanks for trying out vaex. Vaex does support inner join, and full join. Does that help your usecase?

Cheers, J.

@JovanVeljanoski can you please point us to the full join functionality?

[Karlheinzniebuhr]

Sure, https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.merge.html under parameters: how: outer

@JovanVeljanoski Was there any update to this ?

[JovanVeljanoski]

Hi,

We are currently focused on the development of other aspects of Vaex. We appreciate the interested and need for full/outer join in Vaex, and hope to be able to work on it after the next major release. Unless some party is willing to fund this, we do not have the capacity to do it on a very short time-frame. Contributions are always welcome though!

Please track this issue for updates.
