> The private function pyspark.sql.types._verify_type() recursively checks an object against a datatype, raising an exception if the object does not satisfy the type.  These messages are not specific enough to debug a data error in a collection or nested data, for instance:
> {quote}
> >>> import pyspark.sql.types as typ
> >>> schema = typ.StructType([typ.StructField('nest1', typ.MapType(typ.StringType(), typ.ArrayType(typ.FloatType())))])
> >>> typ._verify_type({'nest1': {'nest2': [1]}}, schema)
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
>   File "/Users/david/src/3p/spark/python/pyspark/sql/types.py", line 1355, in _verify_type
>     _verify_type(obj.get(f.name), f.dataType, f.nullable, name=new_name)
>   File "/Users/david/src/3p/spark/python/pyspark/sql/types.py", line 1349, in _verify_type
>     _verify_type(v, dataType.valueType, dataType.valueContainsNull, name=new_name)
>   File "/Users/david/src/3p/spark/python/pyspark/sql/types.py", line 1342, in _verify_type
>     _verify_type(i, dataType.elementType, dataType.containsNull, name=new_name)
>   File "/Users/david/src/3p/spark/python/pyspark/sql/types.py", line 1325, in _verify_type
>     % (name, dataType, obj, type(obj)))
> TypeError: FloatType can not accept object 1 in type <class 'int'>
> {quote}
> Passing and printing a field name would make debugging easier.
