----------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove aliases from deprecated numpy data types
Key: SPARK-42647
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-42647
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: PySpark
Affects Versions: 3.3.2, 3.3.1, 3.3.0, 3.3.3, 3.4.0, 3.4.1
Reporter: Aimilios Tsouvelekakis
Numpy has started changing the alias to some of its data-types. This means that
users with the latest version of numpy they will face either warnings or errors
according to the type that they are using. This affects all the users using
numoy > 1.20.0. One of the types was fixed back in September with this
[pull|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/37817] request.
The problem can be split into 2 types:
[numpy 1.24.0|https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/22607]: The scalar type
aliases ending in a 0 bit size: np.object0, np.str0, np.bytes0, np.void0,
np.int0, np.uint0 as well as np.bool8 are now deprecated and will eventually be
removed. At this point in numpy 1.25.0 they give a awarning
[numpy 1.20.0|https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14882]: Using the aliases of
builtin types like np.int is deprecated and removed since numpy version 1.24.0
The changes are needed so pyspark can be compatible with the latest numpy and
avoid
* attribute errors on data types being deprecated from version 1.20.0:
[https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html#deprecations]
* warnings on deprecated data types from version 1.24.0:
[https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.24.0-notes.html#deprecations]
>From my main research I see the following:
The only changes that are functional are related with the conversion.py file.
The rest of the changes are inside tests in the user_guide or in some
docstrings describing specific functions. Since I am not an expert in these
tests I wait for the reviewer and some people with more experience in the
pyspark code.
These types are aliases for classic python types so yes they should work with
all the numpy versions [1|https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.20.0-notes.html],
[2|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74844262/how-can-i-solve-error-module-numpy-has-no-attribute-float-in-python].
The error or warning comes from the call to the numpy.
