------------------------------------

             Summary: Explicitly specify supported types in Pandas UDFs
                 Key: SPARK-23352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23352
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: PySpark
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon


Currently, we don't support {{BinaryType}} in Pandas UDFs:

{code}
>>> from pyspark.sql.functions import pandas_udf
>>> pudf = pandas_udf(lambda x: x, "binary")
>>> spark.conf.set("spark.sql.execution.arrow.enabled", "true")
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([[bytearray("a")]])
>>> df.select(pudf("_1")).show()
...
TypeError: Unsupported type in conversion to Arrow: BinaryType
{code}

Also, the grouped aggregate Pandas UDF fail fast on {{ArrayType}} but seems we 
can support this case.

We should better clarify it in doc in Pandas UDFs, and fail fast with type 
checking ahead, rather than execution time.

Please consider this case:

{code}
pandas_udf(lambda x: x, BinaryType())  # we can fail fast at this stage because 
we know the schema ahead
{code}
