-----------------------------------------
Summary: DataType __repr__ change breaks datatype checking
(anit-)pattern
Key: SPARK-47288
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47288
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 3.4.1
Reporter: Ted Chester Jenks
This pr: [https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/34320]
Made reprs for datatype eval-able. This is kind of nice, but we have a ton of
users doing stuff like:
{code:java}
if str(data_type) == "StringType":
...
{code}
Which breaks.
What would people think of adding a __str__ to the base class that returns the
old behaviour so we can have the best of both worlds.
