Hi, It appears that there's already a discussion about why GenerateExec operator has the flag off.
1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21657 Spark has exponential time complexity to explode(array of structs) which is in progress 2. And more importantly @rxin has turned that off because --> "Disable generate codegen since it fails my workload." - Wished he included the workload to showcase the issue :( Looks like there are a bunch of wise people already on it so I'll just listen...
