Github user squito commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/4039#issuecomment-70036236 I think finding & fixing a bug in current behavior is a great reason to add a unit test. Some part of the implementation is confusing enough to have allowed a bug in the first place, a test will help prevent that bug from cropping up again in future changes. From the description you gave me, this seems like a minimal test case: ``` class SpecificMutableRowTest extends FunSuite with Matchers { test("update MutableAny") { val row = new SpecificMutableRow(Seq(StringType)) row.update(0, 1) row.getInt(0) should be (1) } } ``` I agree that this does seem kinda suspicious that maybe there is something deeper going on ... why is a field that is supposed to be an int getting assigned a type of `MutableAny` instead of `MutableInt`, though apparently `CatalystPrimitiveConverter` has decided to call the `int` specific methods like `setInt` etc.?
