pandasUDF and pyarrow 0.15.0

问题

I have recently started getting a bunch of errors on a number of pyspark jobs running on EMR clusters. The erros are

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

They all seem to happen in apply functions of a pandas series. The only change I found is that pyarrow has been updated on Saturday (05/10/2019). Tests seem to work with 0.14.1

So my question is if anyone know if this is a bug in the new updated pyarrow or is there some significant change that will make pandasUDF hard to use in the future?

回答1:

It's not a bug. We made an important protocol change in 0.15.0 that makes the default behavior of pyarrow incompatible with older versions of Arrow in Java -- your Spark environment seems to be using an older version.
