Ala Luszczak created SPARK-26878: ------------------------------------ Summary: QueryTest.compare does not handle maps with array keys correctly Key: SPARK-26878 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26878 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: SQL, Tests Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: Ala Luszczak
The current strategy for comparing Maps is sorting the (key, value) tuples by _.toString, zipping tuples from both maps together, and then comparing tuples within each of the pairs separately. See: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/ac9c0536bc518f173f2ff53bee42b7a89d28ee20/sql/core/src/test/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/QueryTest.scala#L344-L346 This is not ideal for byte arrays. The string representations of byte arrays looks like “[B@7d263ddc” and has nothing to do with values actually contained within the array. Hence, if a map has byte array keys, then random values get compared with each other, which can result in false negatives. -- 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
