Herman van Hovell commented on SPARK-25378:
-------------------------------------------
I think this particular use is wrong. {{StringType}} is represented by
{{UTF8Sting}} and not by {{java.lang.String}}. The correct way of doing this
for a {{java.lang.String}} is the following:
{noformat}
import org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.util._import
org.apache.spark.sql.types.StringType
ArrayData.toArrayData(Array("a",
"b")).toArray[String](ObjectType(classOf[String]))
res0: Array[String] = Array(a, b)
{noformat}
I am inclined to close this as not a problem.
> ArrayData.toArray assume UTF8String
