How to get all occurrences of duplicate records in a PySpark DataFrame based on specific columns?

Hi,

I need to find all occurrences of duplicate records in a PySpark DataFrame. Following is the sample dataset:

# Prepare Data
data = [("A", "A", 1), \
    ("A", "A", 2), \
    ("A", "A", 3), \
    ("A", "B", 4), \
    ("A", "B", 5), \
    ("A", "C", 6), \
    ("A", "D", 7), \
    ("A", "E", 8), \
  ]
 
# Create DataFrame
columns= ["col_1", "col_2", "col_3"]
df = spark.createDataFrame(data = data, schema = columns)
df.printSchema()
df.show(truncate=False)

When I try the following code:

primary_key = ['col_1', 'col_2']
 
duplicate_records = df.exceptAll(df.dropDuplicates(primary_key))

The output will be:

As you can see, I don't get all occurrences of duplicate records based on the Primary Key, since one instance of duplicate records is present in "df.dropDuplicates(primary_key)". The 1st and the 4th records of the dataset must be in the output. 

Any idea to solve this issue?
