> Upgrade Arrow to version 0.8.0
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-22324
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22324
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: PySpark, SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Bryan Cutler
>
> Arrow version 0.8.0 is slated for release in early November, but I'd like to
> start discussing to help get all the work that's being done synced up.
> Along with upgrading the Arrow Java artifacts, pyarrow on our Jenkins test
> envs will need to be upgraded as well that will take a fair amount of work
> and planning.
> One topic I'd like to discuss is if pyarrow should be an installation
> requirement for pyspark, i.e. when a user pip installs pyspark, it will also
> install pyarrow. If not, then is there a minimum version that needs to be
> supported? We currently have 0.4.1 installed on Jenkins.
> There are a number of improvements and cleanups in the current code that can
> happen depending on what we decide (I'll link them all here later, but off
> the top of my head):
> * Decimal bug fix and improved support
> * Improved internal casting between pyarrow and pandas (can clean up some
> workarounds), this will also verify data bounds if the user specifies a type
> and data overflows. see
> https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/19459#discussion_r146421804
> * Better type checking when converting Spark types to Arrow
> * Timestamp conversion to microseconds (for Spark internal format)
> * Full support for using validity mask with 'object' types
> https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/18664#discussion_r146567335
> * VectorSchemaRoot can call close more than once to simplify listener
