Thank you @HyukjinKwon, issue is that this only applies to dataframes, this means that only spark supported types can be input to `.mapInPandas`. so this does not cover use cases such as: `RDD[python_object] -> obj_to_pandas_df() -> create spark DF`, or as a method to read an RDD of pickle files and convert them to a spark DF. I believe this can enable more seamless integration with python packages that do not natively support spark. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
