Actually there's another anomaly:
Spark (and pyspark) supports filling of bools if you specify the args as a map:
{code}
fillna({"a": False})
{code}
, but not if you specify it as
{code}
fillna(False)
{code}
This is because (scala-)Spark has no
{code}
def fill(value: Boolean): DataFrame = fill(value, df.columns)
{code}
method. I find that strange/buggy

> Key: SPARK-19732
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19732
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PySpark
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Reporter: Len Frodgers
>
> In PySpark, the fillna function of DataFrame inadvertently casts bools to
> ints, so fillna cannot be used to fill True/False.
> e.g.
> `spark.createDataFrame([Row(a=True),Row(a=None)]).fillna(True).collect()`
> yields
> `[Row(a=True), Row(a=None)]`
> It should be a=True for the second Row
> The cause is this bit of code:
> {code}
> if isinstance(value, (int, long)):
> value = float(value)
> {code}
> There needs to be a separate check for isinstance(bool), since in python,
> bools are ints too
