Github user cloud-fan commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/13704 > the `Cast` performs conversion from `UnsafeArrayData` to `GenericArrayData`. `Cast` is used to cast one type to another, not cast one kind of data representation to another, so I don't quite understand why the `Cast` is there. > This code generation always creates `Object[]` and assign values into each `Object[]` element. This is reasonable, as it needs to take care of null elements. And we do have a chance to optimize it: if the target array type's element type is primitive and the input array type's element nullability is false, we can avoid using `Object[]`.
