Sean Owen resolved SPARK-26984.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

I agree, I don't think "Some(null)" is reasonable. You mean None, right?

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
>         Environment: Linux CentOS, Databricks.

> NB: Not sure of priority being correct - no doubt one will evaluate.
> It is noted that the following:
> {code}
> val df = Seq(
>   (1, Some("a"), Some(1)),
>   (2, Some(null), Some(2)),
>   (3, Some("c"), Some(3)),
>   (4, None, None)).toDF("c1", "c2", "c3")}
> {code}
> In Spark 2.2.1 (on mapr) the {{Some(null)}} works fine, in Spark 2.4.0 on 
> Databricks an error ensues.
