您使用的是逻辑与（AND）。这意味着所有列必须比不同的'空'对列入一行。让我们举例说明，使用过滤版本为例：

Your are using logical conjunction (AND). It means that all columns have to be different than 'null' for row to be included. Lets illustrate that using filter version as an example:

numeric = sqlContext.createDataFrame([
    ('3.5,', '5.0', 'null'), ('2.0', '14.0', 'null'),  ('null', '38.0', 'null'),
    ('null', 'null', 'null'),  ('1.0', 'null', '4.0')],
    ('low', 'high', 'normal'))

numeric_filtered_1 = numeric.where(numeric['LOW'] != 'null')
numeric_filtered_1.show()

## +----+----+------+
## | low|high|normal|
## +----+----+------+
## |3.5,| 5.0|  null|
## | 2.0|14.0|  null|
## | 1.0|null|   4.0|
## +----+----+------+

numeric_filtered_2 = numeric_filtered_1.where(
    numeric_filtered_1['NORMAL'] != 'null')
numeric_filtered_2.show()

## +---+----+------+
## |low|high|normal|
## +---+----+------+
## |1.0|null|   4.0|
## +---+----+------+

numeric_filtered_3 = numeric_filtered_2.where(
    numeric_filtered_2['HIGH'] != 'null')
numeric_filtered_3.show()

## +---+----+------+
## |low|high|normal|
## +---+----+------+
## +---+----+------+

您已经尝试了所有剩下的方法遵循完全相同的架构。你所需要的是一个逻辑析取（OR）。

All remaining methods you've tried follow exactly the same schema. What you need here is a logical disjunction (OR).

from pyspark.sql.functions import col 

numeric_filtered = df.where(
    (col('LOW')    != 'null') | 
    (col('NORMAL') != 'null') |
    (col('HIGH')   != 'null'))
numeric_filtered.show()

## +----+----+------+
## | low|high|normal|
## +----+----+------+
## |3.5,| 5.0|  null|
## | 2.0|14.0|  null|
## |null|38.0|  null|
## | 1.0|null|   4.0|
## +----+----+------+

或原始SQL：

numeric.registerTempTable("numeric")
sqlContext.sql("""SELECT * FROM numeric
    WHERE low != 'null' OR normal != 'null' OR high != 'null'"""
).show()

## +----+----+------+
## | low|high|normal|
## +----+----+------+
## |3.5,| 5.0|  null|
## | 2.0|14.0|  null|
## |null|38.0|  null|
## | 1.0|null|   4.0|
## +----+----+------+
