Just going to add a note here for future, currently seeing a small difference in pandas vs spark report sample rows when there are rows only in one dataframe.

1. There is an additional _merge_right column which is not in the original dataframes, which could cause a bit of confusion for users.
2. We're displaying the column names as their aliases, which could also be a bit confusing. It would be best to translate them back to their original names.

Not a blocker for this, but we should open a follow-up issue to keep track of this.

import pandas as pd
import pyspark.pandas as ps
pdf1 = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({"id": [1,2,3,4,5], "a": [2,3,2,3, 2], "b": ["a", "b", "c", "d", ""]})
pdf2 = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({"id": [1,2,3,4,5, 6], "a": [2,3,2,3, 2, np.nan], "b": ["a", "b", "c", "d", "", pd.NA]})
df1 = ps.DataFrame(pdf1)
df2 = ps.DataFrame(pdf2)
