Jeremy Smith created SPARK-14536: ------------------------------------ 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
