Alex Liu commented on SPARK-10501:
----------------------------------
Cassandra has InetAddress and BigInteger types. Can we add those as internal
type as well?
> support UUID as an atomic type
> ------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-10501
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10501
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Jon Haddad
> Priority: Minor
>
> It's pretty common to use UUIDs instead of integers in order to avoid
> distributed counters.
> I've added this, which at least lets me load dataframes that use UUIDs that I
> can cast to strings:
> {code}
> class UUIDType(AtomicType):
> pass
> _type_mappings[UUID] = UUIDType
> _atomic_types.append(UUIDType)
> {code}
> But if I try to do anything else with the UUIDs, like this:
> {code}
> ratings.select("userid").distinct().collect()
> {code}
> I get this pile of fun:
> {code}
> scala.MatchError: UUIDType (of class
> org.apache.spark.sql.cassandra.types.UUIDType$)
> {code}
