Summary: Spark datatype error Key: SPARK-28533 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-28533 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: PySpark Affects Versions: 2.4.1 Reporter: RoopTeja Muppalla Hello, I have faced an issue while casting the datatype of a column in pyspark 2.4.1. Say that i have the following data frame in which column B is a string which has a list or arrays df = spark.createDataFrame([("row1", "[[12.46575,13.78697],[10.565,*11*]]"), ("row2", "[[1.2345,13.45454],[6.6868,0.234524]]")], schema=['A', 'B']) Now i want to convert the column B to a Arraytype, so i have used the following code to_array = udf(lambda x: ast.literal_eval(x.replace('\"', '')), ArrayType(ArrayType(DoubleType()))) df = df.withColumn('C', to_array(col('B'))) The new column C is an ArrayType of ArrayType with elements of DoubleType. But with this code I was not able to convert the integer type value *11.* This value is not part of the final output. ||A||B||C|| |row1|[[12.46575,13.78697],[10.565,*11*]]|[[12.46575, 13.78697], [10.565,]]| |row2|[[1.2345,13.45454],[6.6868,0.234524]]|[[1.2345, 13.45454], [6.6868, 0.234524]]| As you could see, the column C does not have 11. If I replace the DoubleType to FloatType same error and if I replace it with DecimalType the output is all empty. I am not sure whether there is a issue with my code or it is a bug. Hope, someone can provide some clarification on this.
