For instance, 1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API. 2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug. --> When encoding Java Beans to Spark DataFrame, non-primitive types are encoded as nullable fields. Although It works for most cases, it can be an issue under a few situations, e.g. the one described in the JIRA ticket when saving DataFrame to Avro format with non-null field. We should allow Spark users more flexibility when creating Spark DataFrame from Java Beans. Currently, Spark users cannot create DataFrame with non-nullable fields in the schema from beans with non-nullable properties. Although it is possible to project top-level columns with SQL expressions like `AssertNotNull` to make it non-null, for nested fields it is more tricky to do it similarly. ### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change? <!-- If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes - provide the console output, description and/or an example to show the behavior difference if possible. If no, write 'No'. --> Yes. After this change, Spark users can use `javax.annotation.Nonnull` to annotate non-null fields in Java Beans when encoding beans to Spark DataFrame. ### How was this patch tested? <!-- If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive cases if possible. If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future. If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why it was difficult to add. --> Added unit test.
