             Summary: Simple Vectorized Python UDFs using Arrow
                 Key: SPARK-21404
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21404
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PySpark, SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Bryan Cutler


Using Arrow, Python UDFs can be evaluated in vectorized form by using the 
column data as Pandas.Series.  This will offer a performance gain by computing 
the return column data in one operation instead of iterating over each row to 
calculate a single element and appending to a list, as is currently done.

This is designed as a preliminary step for the existing SPIP: Vectorized UDFs 
in Python SPARK-21190 that could be used as a basis for whatever expanded API 
is decided upon there.
