SparkSql Editor fetch_result issues with complex types - Hue 4.10

[elisabetao]

Describe the bug: When querying complex types in the latest Spark SQL Editor in Hue 4.10 the results are not being displayed by the _fetch_result method in desktop/libs/notebook/src/notebook/connectors/spark_shell.py

Steps to reproduce it? Create a table with struct, array ort map types and query it though the SparkSQL Livy Editor

For now I am setting the type to string in case field['type']) is map or array, but maybe a better parser could be used for results fetching in SparkSQL Editor. Have anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks a lot

Hi @elisabetao, There has been some improvements recently for SparkSQL, can you once check with the recent master branch? Hue 4.11 is not out yet.

HI @Harshg999 Harsh,

Sorry for the delay, yes I have tested the latest code in the master branch in github , the issues is still there for complex types. Here is how it looks

You can test also on your side with an example as follows: create table default.structeo(id int, name string, address structcity:string,State:string)
insert into table default.structeo select 1, 'Test', named_struct('city','Toronto','State','ON') from default.dummy_TBL limit 1 select * from default.structeo

Thanks a lot

Hi @elisabetao what is the expected output I will try to reproduce it and look into it.Can u also share your ini file configuration.

Hi @divincode , thanks for the update .

I would expect to have the same results as in Hive :

I think it's similar to the issue you remarked also for Trino/Presto.

On my side to at least allow the display of the data in desktop/libs/notebook/src/notebook/connectors/spark_shell.py I updated the following in _fetch_result, as a quick hack/workaround :

if 'struct' in str(field['type']):
              meta.append({'name': field['name'], 'type': 'struct' , 'comment': ''})
           elif 'array' in str(field['type']):
              meta.append({'name': field['name'], 'type': 'string' , 'comment': ''})
           elif 'map' in str(field['type']):
              meta.append({'name': field['name'], 'type': 'string' , 'comment': ''})
           else:
              meta.append({'name': field['name'], 'type': field['type'] , 'comment': ''})
          #meta = [{'name': field['name'], 'type': field['type'], 'comment': ''} for field in result['schema']['fields']]

but parsers need to be handled for all non Hive editors for Complex types. Here's the part of hue.ini that is of interest:

Hi @elisabetao, thank you for opening this issue! Complex types query result support is now merged in master via https://github.com/cloudera/hue/pull/3097. It will also be available in upcoming 4.11 release.
