#### New insights after discussing witn @ad1happy2go:
The problem arises when using a dynamically created StructType schema. When
a statically declared schema is used, the updates work fine. That is, something
like:
```
json_schema = StructType([StructField('profile_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('timestamp', TimestampType(), True), StructField('id',
StringType(), True), StructField('Enjoy', BooleanType(), True),
StructField('DOB', ArrayType(StringType(), False), True), StructField('zip',
StringType(), True), StructField('country', StringType(), True),
StructField('email_vendor', StringType(), True), StructField('city',
StringType(), True), StructField('active_audience', DoubleType(), True),
StructField('last_name', StringType(), True), StructField('migrated_from',
StringType(), True), StructField('product_range', ArrayType(StringType(),
False), True), StructField('email_sub', BooleanType(), True),
StructField('sms_vendor', StringType(), True), StructField('audience_count',
DoubleType(), True), StructField('whatsapp_vendor', StringType(), True),
StructField('first_name', StringType(), True)])
.
.
<rest of program>
```
works as expected. However when using a schema dynamically fetched using an
internal service:
```
def get_structfield(fieldname, typestring):
if typestring == "NUMBER":
return StructField(fieldname, DoubleType(), True)
elif typestring == "BOOLEAN":
return StructField(fieldname, BooleanType(), True)
elif typestring == "RELATIVE_TIME":
return StructField(fieldname, TimestampType(), True)
elif typestring == "LIST_DOUBLE":
return StructField(fieldname, ArrayType(DoubleType(), False), True)
elif typestring == "LIST_STRING":
return StructField(fieldname, ArrayType(StringType(), False), True)
return StructField(fieldname, StringType(), True)
def get_schema(shop_id):
url = "my-url"
params = {
## my-params
}
response = requests.get(url, params=params)
if response.status_code == 200:
response_json = response.json()
schemaDict = response_json["data"]
LOGGER.info(f"Table profile_{shop_id}: Fetch Schema Successful")
schema = StructType()
for key in schemaDict:
schema.add(get_structfield(key, schemaDict[key]))
return schema
else:
LOGGER.info(f"Table profile_{shop_id}: Fetch Schema Failed")
raise Exception("Could not get schema")
```
does not update properly.
As our use case heavily depends upon getting a schema dynamically, we cannot
adopt the static approach and are trying to get a solution for that.
