Andrew Duffy created SPARK-17213: ------------------------------------ Summary: Parquet String Pushdown for Non-Eq Comparisons Broken Key: SPARK-17213 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17213 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Andrew Duffy
Spark defines ordering over strings based on comparison of UTF8 byte arrays, which compare bytes as unsigned integers. Currently however Parquet does not respect this ordering. This is currently in the process of being fixed in Parquet, JIRA and PR link below, but currently all filters are broken over strings, with there actually being a correctness issue for {{>}} and {{<}}. *Repro:* Querying directly from in-memory DataFrame: {code} > Seq("a", "é").toDF("name").where("name > 'a'").count 1 {code} Querying from a parquet dataset: {code} > Seq("a", "é").toDF("name").write.parquet("/tmp/bad") > spark.read.parquet("/tmp/bad").where("name > 'a'").count 0 {code} This happens because Spark sorts the rows to be {{[a, é]}}, but Parquet's implementation of comparison of strings is based on signed byte array comparison, so it will actually create 1 row group with statistics {{min=é,max=a}}, and so the row group will be dropped by the query. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
