Cheng Lian created SPARK-8288:
---------------------------------
Summary: ScalaReflection should also try apply methods defined in
companion objects when inferring schema from a Product type
Key: SPARK-8288
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8288
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: Cheng Lian
This ticket is derived from PARQUET-293 (which actually describes a Spark SQL
issue).
My comment on that issue quoted below:
{quote}
... The reason of this exception is that, the Scala code Scrooge generates is
actually a trait extending {{Product}}:
{code}
trait Junk
extends ThriftStruct
with scala.Product2[Long, String]
with java.io.Serializable
{code}
while Spark expects a case class, something like:
{code}
case class Junk(junkID: Long, junkString: String)
{code}
The key difference here is that the latter case class version has a constructor
whose arguments can be transformed into fields of the DataFrame schema. The
exception was thrown because Spark can't find such a constructor from trait
{{Junk}}.
{quote}
We can make {{ScalaReflection}} try {{apply}} methods in companion objects, so
that trait types generated by Scrooge can also be used for Spark SQL schema
inference.
