I think finding & fixing a bug in current behavior is a great reason to add
a unit test. Some part of the implementation is confusing enough to have
allowed a bug in the first place, a test will help prevent that bug from
cropping up again in future changes.
From the description you gave me, this seems like a minimal test case:
```
class SpecificMutableRowTest extends FunSuite with Matchers {
test("update MutableAny") {
val row = new SpecificMutableRow(Seq(StringType))
row.update(0, 1)
row.getInt(0) should be (1)
}
}
```
I agree that this does seem kinda suspicious that maybe there is something
deeper going on ... why is a field that is supposed to be an int getting
assigned a type of `MutableAny` instead of `MutableInt`, though apparently
`CatalystPrimitiveConverter` has decided to call the `int` specific methods
like `setInt` etc.?
