             Summary: Add UserDefinedType support to DataTypeUtils.canWrite
                 Key: SPARK-47528
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47528
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
            Reporter: L. C. Hsieh


Our customer hits an issue recently when they tries to save a DataFrame 
containing some UDTs as table (`saveAsTable`). The error looks like:

```
- Cannot write 'xxx': struct<...> is incompatible with struct<...>
```

The catalog strings between two sides are actually same which makes the 
customer confused.

It is because `DataTypeUtils.canWrite` doesn't handle `UserDefinedType`. If the 
`UserDefinedType`'s underlying sql type is same as read side, `canWrite` should 
return true for two sides.
