["Maciej Szymkiewicz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Maciej Szymkiewicz created SPARK-19162:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Input types validation
                 Key: SPARK-19162
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19162
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: PySpark, SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 2.0.0, 1.6.0, 1.5.0, 2.2.0
            Reporter: Maciej Szymkiewicz


=Current state

Right now `UserDefinedFunctions` don't perform any input type validation. It will accept non-callable objects just to fail with hard to understand traceback:


{code}

In [1]: from pyspark.sql.functions import udf

In [2]: df = spark.range(0, 1)

In [3]: f = udf(None)

In [4]: df.select(f()).first()
17/01/07 19:30:50 ERROR Executor: Exception in task 2.0 in stage 2.0 (TID 7)

...
Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o51.collectToPython.
...
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
...

{code}

Invalid arguments to UDF call fail fast but with a bit cryptic Py4J errors:


{code}
In [5]: g = udf(lambda x: x)

In [6]: df.select(f([]))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Py4JError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-10-5fb48a5d66d2> in <module>()
----> 1 df.select(f([]))
....
Py4JError: An error occurred while calling z:org.apache.spark.sql.functions.col. Trace:

Proposed

Apply basic type validation for both constructor arguments:

{code}

In [7]: udf(None)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-0765fbe657a9> in <module>()
----> 1 udf(None)
...
TypeError: func should be a callable object (a function or an instance of a class with __call__). Got <class 'NoneType'>

{code}

and call arguments:


{code}
In [8]: f = udf(lambda x: x)

In [9]: f(1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

...
TypeError: All arguments should be Columns or strings representing column names. Got 1 of type <class 'int'>

{code}
