Sean Owen commented on SPARK-21657:
-----------------------------------
What if you call toArray in your code, and explode that? if it's just assuming
the column type is constant-time to access at an index, then that would work
around it.
Ideally it would generate code that traversed the collection if it doesn't
support fast RandomAccess, or implements like this otherwise (instance of
IndexedSeq or something). But that might help narrow down the issue.

> Key: SPARK-21657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21657
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark Core, SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.3.0
> Reporter: Ruslan Dautkhanov
> Labels: cache, caching, collections, nested_types, performance,
> pyspark, sparksql, sql
> Attachments: ExponentialTimeGrowth.PNG,
> nested-data-generator-and-test.py
>
>
> It can take up to half a day to explode a modest-sized nested collection
> (0.5m).
> On a recent Xeon processors.
> See attached pyspark script that reproduces this problem.
> {code}
> cached_df = sqlc.sql('select individ, hholdid, explode(amft) from ' +
> table_name).cache()
> print sqlc.count()
> {code}
> This script generate a number of tables, with the same total number of
> records across all nested collection (see `scaling` variable in loops).
> `scaling` variable scales up how many nested elements in each record, but by
> the same factor scales down number of records in the table. So total number
> of records stays the same.
> Time grows exponentially (notice log-10 vertical axis scale):
> !ExponentialTimeGrowth.PNG!
> At scaling of 50,000 (see attached pyspark script), it took 7 hours to
> explode the nested collections (\!) of 8k records.
> After 1000 elements in nested collection, time grows exponentially.
