Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-24445:
------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Apache Spark)
> Schema in json format for from_json in SQL
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-24445
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24445
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Maxim Gekk
> Priority: Minor
>
> In Spark 2.3, schema for the from_json function can be specified in JSON
> format in Scala and Python but in SQL. In SQL it is impossible to specify map
> type for example because SQL DDL parser can handle struct type only. Need to
> support schemas in JSON format as it has been already implemented
> [there|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/branch-2.3/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/functions.scala#L3225-L3229]:
> {code:scala}
> val dataType = try {
> DataType.fromJson(schema)
> } catch {
> case NonFatal(_) => StructType.fromDDL(schema)
> }
> {code}
