Jeremy A. Lucas created SPARK-7769:
--------------------------------------
Summary: How to represent a recursive data type in Spark SQL
Key: SPARK-7769
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7769
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Question
Components: SQL
Reporter: Jeremy A. Lucas
Priority: Minor
Spark SQL has proven to be quite useful in applying a partial schema to large
JSON logs and being able to write plain SQL to perform a wide variety of
operations over this data. However, one small thing that keeps coming back to
haunt me is the lack of support for recursive data types, whereby a member of a
complex/struct value can be of the same type as the complex/struct value itself.
I am hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction of where to
start to build out such capabilities, as I'd be happy to contribute, but am
very new to this component of the Spark project.
