DB Tsai created SPARK-27838: ------------------------------- Summary: Support user provided non-nullable avro schema for nullable catalyst schema without any null record Key: SPARK-27838 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27838 Project: Spark Issue Type: New Feature Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.4.3 Reporter: DB Tsai Fix For: 3.0.0
When the data is read from the sources, the catalyst schema is always nullable. Since Avro uses Union type to represent nullable, when any non-nullable avro file is read and then written out, the schema will always be changed. This PR provides a solution for users to keep the Avro schema without being forced to use Union type. -- 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
