------------------------------------
Assignee: Herman van Hövell (was: Apache Spark)
> Introduce AgnosticEncoders
> --------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-41690
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-41690
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Connect, SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Herman van Hövell
> Assignee: Herman van Hövell
> Priority: Major
>
> For the Spark Connect Scala Client we need Encoders. We cannot use the current ExpressionEncoder infrastructure because of the following reasons:
> * Connect uses Arrow instead of internal rows
> * We don't want to have a dependency on Catalyst in the client.
> * We don't want to be sending the expressions that expression encoders use over the wire.
> An additional challenge is that we cannot send TypeTags over the wire.
> The proposal is to create an intermediate encoder. This encoder describes exactly how which external type maps to an internal type, but it does not prescribe which format is used.
> An upside of this approach is that we can reduce the cost of encoder creation by quite a margin.
