Lei (Eddy) Xu created SPARK-34600: ------------------------------------- Summary: Support user defined types in Pandas UDF Key: SPARK-34600 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-34600 Project: Spark Issue Type: New Feature Components: PySpark, SQL Affects Versions: 3.1.1, 3.0.2 Reporter: Lei (Eddy) Xu
Because Pandas UDF uses pyarrow to passing data, it does not currently support UserDefinedTypes, as what normal python udf does. For example: {code:python} class BoxType(UserDefinedType): @classmethod def sqlType(cls) -> StructType: return StructType( fields=[ StructField("xmin", DoubleType(), False), StructField("ymin", DoubleType(), False), StructField("xmax", DoubleType(), False), StructField("ymax", DoubleType(), False), ] ) @pandas_udf( returnType=StructType([StructField("boxes", ArrayType(Box()))] ) def pandas_pf(s: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame: yield s {code} The logs indicate t {quote} try: to_arrow_type(self._returnType_placeholder) except TypeError: > raise NotImplementedError( "Invalid return type with scalar Pandas UDFs: %s is " E NotImplementedError: Invalid return type with scalar Pandas UDFs: StructType(List(StructField(boxes,ArrayType(Box,true),true))) is not supported {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
