Why each option
To combine all rows from two datasets while maintaining their original columns and headers in Azure Machine Learning designer, the solution suggests using the Join Data module.
While the 'Add Rows' module is typically used for vertical concatenation (appending rows), a Full Outer Join in the 'Join Data' module can be configured to include all non-matching rows from both input datasets. If the input datasets have identical schemas and a full outer join is performed without a common key, or using a dummy key, the resulting dataset can effectively contain all rows and columns, thereby meeting the goal of creating a unified dataset with all original rows.
The 'Join Data' module is primarily designed for horizontally merging datasets based on key columns, which typically combines columns and not just appends rows, making 'Add Rows' the more direct module for the stated goal.
