jacklzg updated SPARK-33598:
----------------------------
Description:
If the target Java data class has a circular reference, Spark will fail fast
from creating the Dataset or running Encoders.
For example, with protobuf class, there is a reference with Descriptor, there
is no way to build a dataset from the protobuf class.
>From this line
```
{quote}
{code:java}
Encoders.bean(ProtoBuffOuterClass.ProtoBuff.class);{code}
{quote}
```
It will throw out immediately
```
{quote}Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
Cannot have circular references in bean class, but got the circular reference
of class class com.google.protobuf.Descriptors$Descriptor
{quote}
```
Can we add a parameter, for example,
```
{code:java}
Encoders.bean(Class<T> clas, List<Fields> fieldsToIgnore);{code}
````
or
```
{code:java}
Encoders.bean(Class<T> clas, boolean skipCircularRefField);{code}
````
