             Summary: Remove GroupArrowUDFSerializer by moving flatten logic to 
mapper
                 Key: SPARK-55194
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-55194
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: PySpark
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: Yicong Huang


{{GroupArrowUDFSerializer}} exists only to add a {{flatten_struct}} call in 
{{load_stream}}, inheriting everything else from 
{{ArrowStreamGroupUDFSerializer}}:

{code:python}
class GroupArrowUDFSerializer(ArrowStreamGroupUDFSerializer):
    def load_stream(self, stream):
        for (batches,) in self._load_group_dataframes(stream, num_dfs=1):
            batch_iter = map(ArrowBatchTransformer.flatten_struct, batches)
            yield batch_iter
{code}

This creates an unnecessary inheritance layer. The flatten operation is a data 
transformation that belongs closer to where it's used (the mapper), not in the 
serializer.

Proposal: Move {{flatten_struct}} to the mapper and delete 
{{GroupArrowUDFSerializer}}.
