Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-24924:
--------------------------------------
If it already throws an error for CSV case too, I would prefer to have the
improved error message of course.

I don't buy this agrument, the code has been restructured a lot and you could
have introduced bugs, behavior changes, etc.
{quote}
I have followed the changes in Avro and I don't think there are big
differences. We should keep the behaviours in particular within 2.4.0. If I
missed some and this introduced a bug or behaviour changes, I personally think
we should fix them within 2.4.0. That was one of key things I took into account
when I merged some changes.

Users could have also made their own modified version of the databricks
spark-avro package (which we actually have to support primitive types) and thus
the implementation is not the same and yet you are assuming it is.
{quote}
In this case, users should provide their own short name of the package. I would
say it's discouraged to use the same name with Spark's builtin datasources, or
other packages name reserved - I wonder if users would actually try to have the
same name in practice.

I'm worried about other users who didn't happen to see this jira.

We will make this in the release note - I think I listed up the possible
stories about this in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24924?focusedCommentId=16567708&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16567708

I also realize these are 3rd party packages but I think we are making the
assumption here based on this being a databricks package, which in my opinion
we shouldn't. What if this was companyX package which we didn't know about,
what would/should be the expected behavior?
{quote}
I think the main reason for this is that the code is actually ported from Avro
{{com.databricks.\*}}. The problem here is a worry that {{com.databricks.*}}
indicates the builtin Avro, right?
{quote}
How many users complained about the csv thing?
{quote}
So far, I see some issues as below:
https://github.com/databricks/spark-csv/issues/367
https://github.com/databricks/spark-csv/issues/373
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17916#issuecomment-301898567
For clarification, it's related to me in any way but I thought we better keep
it consistent with CSV's.
To sum up, I get your position but I think the current approach makes a
coherent point too. In that case, I think we better follow what we have done
with CSV.
