> Improve error handling on Pandas to Arrow conversion failures
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-33073
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-33073
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
>            Reporter: Bryan Cutler
>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently, when converting from Pandas to Arrow for Pandas UDF return values 
> or from createDataFrame(), PySpark will catch all ArrowExceptions and display 
> info on how to disable the safe conversion config. This is displayed with the 
> original error as a tuple:
> {noformat}
> ('Exception thrown when converting pandas.Series (object) to Arrow Array 
> (int32). It can be caused by overflows or other unsafe conversions warned by 
> Arrow. Arrow safe type check can be disabled by using SQL config 
> `spark.sql.execution.pandas.convertToArrowArraySafely`.', ArrowInvalid('Could 
> not convert a with type str: tried to convert to int'))
> {noformat}
> The problem is that this is meant mainly for thing like float truncation or 
> overflow, but will also show if the user has an invalid schema with types 
> that are incompatible. The extra information is confusing in this case and 
> the real error is buried.
> This could be improved by only printing the extra info on how to disable safe 
> checking if the config is actually set and using exception chaining to better 
> show the original error. Also, any safe failures would be a ValueError, which 
> ArrowInvaildError is a subclass, so the catch could be made more narrow.
