Description
To demonstrate the error, I can simply follow the instructions from Using Opaque SQL
in the documentation but substitute the given integers for floats:
scala> df.show()
+----+------+
|word| count|
+----+------+
| foo|508.41|
| bar|717.13|
| baz| 82.31|
+----+------+
scala> df.printSchema
root
|-- word: string (nullable = true)
|-- count: float (nullable = false)
If I encrypt the dataframe, then decrypt it I get the following:
scala> dfEncrypted.show()
+----+----------+
|word| count|
+----+----------+
| foo|508.410004|
| bar|717.130005|
| baz| 82.309998|
+----+----------+
scala> dfEncrypted.printSchema
root
|-- word: string (nullable = true)
|-- count: float (nullable = false)
scala> dfEncrypted.collect()
res18: Array[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] = Array([foo,508.41], [bar,717.13], [baz,82.31])
So it appears that there is an error in de-serializing the floats to a string as the displayed numbers are incorrect when using show()
but not collect()
.
One thing I noticed when debugging is that, if I set breakpoints in the various cases here, running collect()
shows that both the StringField
and FloatField
cases are entered (as expected), but running show()
prints out that StringField
is visited twice so it would seem that the float value is being turned into a string (incorrectly) somewhere in C++ code before Scala? But I am not sure.
