------------------------------------
Summary: Cast of ArrayType of NullType to ArrayType of nullable
material type does not work
Key: SPARK-23610
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23610
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Max Kießling
Given a DataFrame that contains a column with _ArrayType of NullType_
casting this column into ArrayType of any material nullable type (e.g.
_ArrayType(LongType, true)_ ) should be possible.
{code}
it("can cast arrays of null type into arrays of nullable material types") {
val inputData = Seq(
Row(Array())
).asJava
val schema = StructType(Seq(
StructField("list", ArrayType(NullType, true), false)
))
val data = caps.sparkSession.createDataFrame(inputData, schema)
data.withColumn("longList",data.col("list").cast(ArrayType(LongType,
true))).show
}
{code}
This test fails with the message:
