> supporting value classes over primitives in DataSets
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-20384
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20384
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Daniel Davis
> Priority: Minor
>
> As a spark user who uses value classes in scala for modelling domain objects,
> I also would like to make use of them for datasets.
> For example, I would like to use the {{User}} case class which is using a
> value-class for it's {{id}} as the type for a DataSet:
> - the underlying primitive should be mapped to the value-class column
> - function on the column (for example comparison ) should only work if
> defined on the value-class and use these implementation
> - show() should pick up the toString method of the value-class
> {code}
> case class Id(value: Long) extends AnyVal {
> def toString: String = value.toHexString
> }
> case class User(id: Id, name: String)
> val ds = spark.sparkContext
> .parallelize(0L to 12L).map(i => (i, f"name-$i")).toDS()
> .withColumnRenamed("_1", "id")
> .withColumnRenamed("_2", "name")
> // mapping should work
> val usrs = ds.as[User]
> // show should use toString
> usrs.show()
> // comparison with long should throw exception, as not defined on Id
> usrs.col("id") > 0L
> {code}
> For example `.show()` should use the toString of the `Id` value class:
> {noformat}
> +---+-------+
> | id| name|
> +---+-------+
> | 0| name-0|
> | 1| name-1|
> | 2| name-2|
> | 3| name-3|
> | 4| name-4|
> | 5| name-5|
> | 6| name-6|
> | 7| name-7|
> | 8| name-8|
> | 9| name-9|
> | A|name-10|
> | B|name-11|
> | C|name-12|
> +---+-------+
> {noformat}
