Maxim Gekk updated SPARK-24571: ------------------------------- Description: Currently, Spark doesn't support literals with the Char (java.lang.Character) type. For example, the following code throws an exception: {code} val df = Seq("Amsterdam", "San Francisco", "London").toDF("city") df.where($"city".contains('o')).show(false) {code} It fails with the exception: {code:java} Unsupported literal type class java.lang.Character o java.lang.RuntimeException: Unsupported literal type class java.lang.Character o at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Literal$.apply(literals.scala:78) {code} One of the possible solutions can be automatic conversion of Char literal to String literal of length 1. was: Currently, Spark doesn't support literals with the Char (java.lang.Character) type.
