Casimir Giesler created SPARK-55361:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: add to_arrow_schema python_data_source.rst to avoid 
double-specifying schema
                 Key: SPARK-55361
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-55361
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: Documentation, Examples, PySpark
    Affects Versions: 4.1.1, 4.0.1, 4.0.0
            Reporter: Casimir Giesler


python/docs/source/tutorial/sql/python_data_source.rst gives an example for 
using PyArrow RecordBatch.

In the example, the Schema is specified twice, once for Spark
{code:java}
def schema(self):
   return "key int, value string" {code}
and then again for PyArrow

 
{code:java}
def read(self, partition):
   ...
   schema = pa.schema([("key", pa.int32()), ("value", pa.string())]) {code}
 

I am proposing to change the documentation to only specify a Spark schema and 
to use 
{{{}pyspark.sql.pandas.types.{}}}{{to_arrow_schema()}} to convert the Spark 
schema to arrow.
