Maxim Gekk commented on SPARK-23410: ------------------------------------ I attached the file on which I tested on 2.2.1: {code:scala} import org.apache.spark.sql.types._ val schema = new StructType().add("firstName", StringType).add("lastName", StringType) spark.read.schema(schema).json("utf16WithBOM.json").show {code} {code} +---------+--------+ |firstName|lastName| +---------+--------+ | Chris| Baird| | null| null| | Doug| Rood| | null| null| | null| null| +---------+--------+ {code} > Unable to read jsons in charset different from UTF-8 > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-23410 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23410 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Input/Output > Affects Versions: 2.3.0 > Reporter: Maxim Gekk > Priority: Major > Attachments: utf16WithBOM.json > > > Currently the Json Parser is forced to read json files in UTF-8. Such > behavior breaks backward compatibility with Spark 2.2.1 and previous versions > that can read json files in UTF-16, UTF-32 and other encodings due to using > of the auto detection mechanism of the jackson library. Need to give back to > users possibility to read json files in specified charset and/or detect > charset automatically as it was before. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
