Antoine Pitrou updated ARROW-3850:
----------------------------------
Component/s: Python
> [Python] Support MapType and StructType for enhanced PySpark integration
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-3850
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3850
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Reporter: Florian Wilhelm
> Priority: Major
>
> It would be great to support MapType and (nested) StructType in Arrow so that
> PySpark can make use of it.
>
> Quite often as in my use-case in Hive table cells are also complex types
> saved. Currently it's not possible to user the new
> {{[pandas_udf|https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.sql.html?highlight=explode#pyspark.sql.functions.pandas_udf]}}
> decorator which internally uses Arrow to generate a UDF for columns with
> complex types.
