             Summary: NPE in JDBCRDD when array column contains nulls 
(postgresql)
                 Key: SPARK-14536
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14536
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
            Reporter: Jeremy Smith


At 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/datasources/jdbc/JDBCRDD.scala#L453
 it is assumed that the JDBC driver will definitely return a non-null `Array` 
object from the call to `getArray`, and that in the event of a null array it 
will return an non-null `Array` object with a null underlying array.  But as 
you can see here 
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/master/pgjdbc/src/main/java/org/postgresql/jdbc/PgResultSet.java#L387
 that isn't the case, at least for PostgreSQL.  This causes a 
`NullPointerException` whenever an array column contains null values. It seems 
like the PostgreSQL JDBC driver is probably doing the wrong thing, but even so 
there should be a null check in JDBCRDD.  I'm happy to submit a PR if that 
would be helpful.
