-------------------------------------------

I know parquet does not allow empty struct types. But is this something that 
the Encoder should handle when generating the schema

> Apache spark giving InvalidSchemaException: Cannot write a schema with an 
> empty group: optional group element {

> I have a bean which has field of type Arraylist of Doubles. Then I do the 
> following
> Encoder<T> beanEncoder = Encoders.bean(jClass);
> Dataset<T> df = spark.createDataset( 
> Collections.singletonList((T)extractedObj),beanEncoder);
> The schema generated says:
> |-- pixelSpacing: array (nullable = true)
> |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
> Now I try to save this Dataset as parquet 
> df.write().mode(SaveMode.Append).parquet(jClass.getName()+"_parquet");
> and I get the error Caused by: org.apache.parquet.schema.
> InvalidSchemaException: Cannot write a schema with an empty group: optional 
> group element {}
> Kindly direct how to specify an ArrayList of Strings or Doubles in the Bean 
> passed to the encoders so that the schema generated can be saved in paraquet
