jacklzg updated SPARK-33598:
----------------------------
    Description: 
If the target Java data class has a circular reference, Spark will fail fast 
from creating the Dataset or running Encoders.

 

For example, with protobuf class, there is a reference with Descriptor, there 
is no way to build a dataset from the protobuf class.

>From this line

{color:#7a869a}Encoders.bean(ProtoBuffOuterClass.ProtoBuff.class);{color}

 

It will throw out immediately

 
{quote}Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: 
Cannot have circular references in bean class, but got the circular reference 
of class class com.google.protobuf.Descriptors$Descriptor
{quote}
 

Can we add  a parameter, for example, 

 
{code:java}
Encoders.bean(Class<T> clas, List<Fields> fieldsToIgnore);{code}
````

or

 
{code:java}
Encoders.bean(Class<T> clas, boolean skipCircularRefField);{code}
