Description

Running in databricks on Azure

library("arrow")
library("SparkR")

df <- as.DataFrame(list("A", "B", "C"), schema="ColumnA")
udf <- function(key, x) data.frame(out=c("dfs"))

 

This works:

sparkR.session(master = "local[*]", sparkConfig=list(spark.sql.execution.arrow.sparkr.enabled = "false"))
df1 <- gapply(df, c("ColumnA"), udf, "out String")
collect(df1)

This fails:

sparkR.session(master = "local[*]", sparkConfig=list(spark.sql.execution.arrow.sparkr.enabled = "true"))
df2 <- gapply(df, c("ColumnA"), udf, "out String")
collect(df2)

 

with error

 
Error in readBin(con, raw(), as.integer(dataLen), endian = "big") : }}Error in readBin(con, raw(), as.integer(dataLen), endian = "big") : invalid 'n' argument
