Ian Cook updated SPARK-48302:
-----------------------------
Description:
Because of a limitation in PyArrow, when PyArrow Tables are passed to
{{spark.createDataFrame()}}, null values in MapArray columns are replaced with
empty lists.
The PySpark function where this happens is
{{pyspark.sql.pandas.types._check_arrow_array_timestamps_localize}}.
Also see [https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/41684].
See the skipped tests and the TODO mentioning SPARK-48302.
A possible fix for this will involve adding a {{mask}} argument to
{{pa.MapArray.from_arrays}}. But since older versions of PyArrow (which PySpark
will still support for a while) won't have this argument, we will need to do a
check like:
{{if LooseVersion(pa._{_}version{_}_) >= LooseVersion("1X.0.0"):}}
or
{{from inspect import signature}}
{{"mask" in signature(pa.MapArray.from_arrays).parameters}}
and only pass {{mask}} if that's true.
