I discovered this issue while extending CatalystTypeConverters to convert UnsafeRows into Scala Rows. My new converter is stricter about types, which caused a test failure that exposed this bug. |

This one is different, it may be related to format of a double value (the number of ending zeros). |
We use testthat https://github.com/hadley/testthat to do assertions. I am not sure if it supports the ScalaTest like error messages. |
Ah, looks like we can use The problem here was an extra decimal point:
|
Ah - good catch ! You can also file a JIRA to audit the rest of the test cases to use |

Test failures appear to be unrelated ORC failures, although that means that R didn't get a chance to run. I think that this has been fixed in master, so let's try another round of testing. |

… String In `DataFrame.describe()`, the `count` aggregate produces an integer, the `avg` and `stdev` aggregates produce doubles, and `min` and `max` aggregates can produce varying types depending on what type of column they're applied to. As a result, we should cast all aggregate results to String so that `describe()`'s output types match its declared output schema.

…c row accessors This patch significantly refactors CatalystTypeConverters to both clean up the code and enable these conversions to work with future Project Tungsten features. At a high level, I've reorganized the code so that all functions dealing with the same type are grouped together into type-specific subclasses of `CatalystTypeConveter`. In addition, I've added new methods that allow the Catalyst Row -> Scala Row conversions to access the Catalyst row's fields through type-specific `getTYPE()` methods rather than the generic `get()` / `Row.apply` methods. This refactoring is a blocker to being able to unit test new operators that I'm developing as part of Project Tungsten, since those operators may output `UnsafeRow` instances which don't support the generic `get()`. The stricter type usage of types here has uncovered some bugs in other parts of Spark SQL: - #6217: DescribeCommand is assigned wrong output attributes in SparkStrategies - #6218: DataFrame.describe() should cast all aggregates to String - #6400: Use output schema, not relation schema, for data source input conversion Spark SQL current has undefined behavior for what happens when you try to create a DataFrame from user-specified rows whose values don't match the declared schema. According to the `createDataFrame()` Scaladoc: > It is important to make sure that the structure of every [[Row]] of the provided RDD matches the provided schema. Otherwise, there will be runtime exception. Given this, it sounds like it's technically not a break of our API contract to fail-fast when the data types don't match. However, there appear to be many cases where we don't fail even though the types don't match. For example, `JavaHashingTFSuite.hasingTF` passes a column of integers values for a "label" column which is supposed to contain floats. This column isn't actually read or modified as part of query processing, so its actual concrete type doesn't seem to matter. In other cases, there could be situations where we have generic numeric aggregates that tolerate being called with different numeric types than the schema specified, but this can be okay due to numeric conversions. In the long run, we will probably want to come up with precise semantics for implicit type conversions / widening when converting Java / Scala rows to Catalyst rows. Until then, though, I think that failing fast with a ClassCastException is a reasonable behavior; this is the approach taken in this patch. Note that certain optimizations in the inbound conversion functions for primitive types mean that we'll probably preserve the old undefined behavior in a majority of cases.
