-------------------------------------------
My suspicion is that the bug is
[here](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/c66d64b3df9d9ffba0b16a62015680f6f876fc68/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/CatalystTypeConverters.scala#L257)
(converts from Product, but not back to it), or
[here](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/c66d64b3df9d9ffba0b16a62015680f6f876fc68/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/CatalystTypeConverters.scala#L57)
(special case for UserDefinedType, but not for Product).
> Cannot create UDF with StructType input
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-12823
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12823
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.5.2
> Reporter: Frank Rosner
>
> h5. Problem
> It is not possible to apply a UDF to a column that has a struct data type.
> Two previous requests to the mailing list remained unanswered.
> h5. How-To-Reproduce
> {code}
> val sql = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
> import sql.implicits._
> case class KV(key: Long, value: String)
> case class Row(kv: KV)
> val df = sc.parallelize(List(Row(KV(1L, "a")), Row(KV(5L, "b")))).toDF
> val udf1 = org.apache.spark.sql.functions.udf((kv: KV) => kv.value)
> df.select(udf1(df("kv"))).show
> // java.lang.ClassCastException:
> org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.GenericRowWithSchema cannot be cast
> to $line78.$read$$iwC$$iwC$KV
> val udf2 = org.apache.spark.sql.functions.udf((kv: (Long, String)) => kv._2)
> df.select(udf2(df("kv"))).show
> // org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: cannot resolve 'UDF(kv)' due to
> data type mismatch: argument 1 requires struct<_1:bigint,_2:string> type,
> however, 'kv' is of struct<key:bigint,value:string> type.;
> {code}

> h5. Possible Workaround
> If you create a {{UserDefinedFunction}} manually, not using the {{udf}}
> helper functions, it works. See https://github.com/FRosner/struct-udf, which
> exposes the {{UserDefinedFunction}} constructor (public from package
> private). However, then you have to work with a {{Row}}, because it does not
> automatically convert the row to a case class / tuple.
