Hello,

I am using 1.4.0 and found the following weird behavior.

This case works fine:

scala> sc.parallelize(Seq((1,2), (3, 100))).toDF.withColumn("index",
rand(30)).show()
+--+---+-------------------+
|_1| _2|              index|
+--+---+-------------------+
| 1|  2| 0.6662967911724369|
| 3|100|0.35734504984676396|
+--+---+-------------------+

However, when I use sqlContext.createDataFrame instead, I get a NPE:

scala> sqlContext.createDataFrame(Seq((1,2), (3, 100))).withColumn("index",
rand(30)).show()
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.RDG.rng$lzycompute(random.scala:39)
at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.RDG.rng(random.scala:39)
..


Does any one know why?

Thanks.

Justin
