[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-14965) StructType throws exception for missing field

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15261096#comment-15261096 ] 

Bo Meng commented on SPARK-14965:
---------------------------------

I believe returning null does not make sense here, so exception is preferred.

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.6.1
>            Reporter: Gregory Hart
>            Priority: Minor

> The ScalaDoc for StructType.apply(String) indicates the method should return null if it does not contain a field with the given name. The method implementation throws an exception in this case instead.
> I suggest that either the implementation should be corrected to return null if the field is not found, or the ScalaDoc be corrected to indicate an exception is thrown.
