Looks like the parallelization into RDD was the right move I was omitting,
JavaRDD<Row> jsonRDD = new JavaSparkContext(sparkSession.
sparkContext()).parallelize(results);
then I created a schema as
List<StructField> fields = new ArrayList<StructField>();
fields.add(DataTypes.createStructField("column_name1",
DataTypes.StringType, true));
fields.add....
StructType schema = DataTypes.createStructType(fields);
and then just, voilà! Have my dataset withou any nullpointers exceptions :)
Dataset<Row> resultDataset = spark.createDataFrame(rdd, schema);
Thanks a lot!!
Have a nice day,
Karin
