Github user dilipbiswal commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/10001#issuecomment-159998104 @yhuai Hi Yin, in the discoverPartitions method, we are trying to create the partition spec and are trying to cast a partition value to the corresponding user specified schema's column type. In case of null partition value the following code raises a null poiner exception in row.getString(i). Cast(Literal.create(row.getString(i), StringType), userProvidedSchema.fields(i).dataType).eval() in this fix i am trying to check for null first and create a null literal of string type as opposed to calling row.getString(). Hope it is okay .. Please let me know.
