-----------------------------------
Assignee: Gengliang Wang
> Allow user-specified output schema in function `to_avro`
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-28698
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-28698
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Gengliang Wang
> Assignee: Gengliang Wang
> Priority: Major
>
> The mapping of Spark schema to Avro schema is many-to-many. (See
> https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-data-sources-avro.html#supported-types-for-spark-sql---avro-conversion)
> The default schema mapping might not be exactly what users want. For example,
> by default a "string" column is always written as "string" Avro type, but
> users might want to output the column as "enum" Avro type.
> With PR https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/21847, Spark supports
> user-specified schema in the batch writer.
> For the function `to_avro`, we should support user-specified output schema as
> well.
