Github user HyukjinKwon commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/22234 From my understanding, yea. The problem here is sounds like ambiguity in empty strings since they can be interpreted as empty strings and also `null`. To me, this is actually rather a bug since we can't distinguish, and don't respect the empty value. If empty strings are written, they should be read as empty strings. This PR proposes an ability explicitly set the empty value to work around the behaviour change.
