[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-16743) converter and access code out of
sync: createDataFrame on RDD[Option[C]] fails with MatchError
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16743?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sean Owen updated SPARK-16743:
------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 1.6.1)
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
I tend to think an RDD of Options doesn't make sense to begin with. flatMap it to the underlying values. This doesn't seem like a bug but improvement, if the issue is just making a better exception. Go ahead.

> Calling {{SqlContext}}'s {{createDataFrame}} on an RDD of type {{RDD\[Option\[SomeUserClass]]}} leads to an internal error.
> For example, if the first field of {{SomeUserClass}} is of type {{String}}, evaluating the RDD yields a {{MatchError}} referring an instance of {{SomeUserClass}} in {{org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.CatalystTypeConverters$StringConverter$.toCatalystImpl}} (which should have been passed only certain kinds of representations of strings).
> The problem seems to be in {{ExistingRDD.scala}}'s {{RDDConversions.productToRowAdd(...)}}:
> It has a list of converters that reflects the list of members of {{SomeUserClass}} (looking past the {{Option}} part of the RDD record type {{Option\[SomeUserClass]}}).
> However, the data-access code ({{r.productElement\(i)}}) does not seem to look past the {{Option}} part correspondingly. (It does not seem to also traverse from the Some instance to the {{SomeUserClass)}}.)
> Therefore, it ends up passing the instance of {{SomeUserClass}} to the converter intended for the first member field of {{SomeUserClass}} (e.g., a String converter), yielding an internal error.
> (If {{RDD\[Option\[...]]}} doesn't make sense in the first place, it should be rejected with a "conscious" error rather than failing with an internal inconsistency.)
