-------------------------------------------
Summary: Make ObjectType SQL Type Public
Key: SPARK-17770
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17770
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Wish
Components: SQL
Reporter: Aleksander Eskilson
Priority: Minor
Currently Catalyst supports encoding custom classes represented as Java Beans
(among others). This Java Bean implementation depends internally on Catalyst’s
ObjectType extension of DataType. Right now, this class is private to the sql
package [1]. However, its private scope makes it more difficult to write full
custom encoders for other classes, themselves perhaps composed of additional
objects.
Opening this class as public will facilitate the writing of custom encoders.
