spark提示Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: scala.collection.mutable.WrappedArray$ofRef cannot be cast to [Lscala.collection.immutable.Map;

起因
编写了一个处理两列是否相等的UDF，这两列的数据结构是一样的，但是结构比较复杂，如下：

|-- list: array (nullable = true)
|    |-- element: map (containsNull = true)
|    |    |-- key: string
|    |    |-- value: array (valueContainsNull = true)
|    |    |    |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
|    |    |    |    |-- Date: integer (nullable = true)
|    |    |    |    |-- Name: string (nullable = true)
|-- list2: array (nullable = true)
|    |-- element: map (containsNull = true)
|    |    |-- key: string
|    |    |-- value: array (valueContainsNull = true)
|    |    |    |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
|    |    |    |    |-- Date: integer (nullable = true)
|    |    |    |    |-- Name: string (nullable = true)

也就是说Array里嵌着Map，Map里还嵌着一个Array，只能依次去比较，编写的UDF如下：

case class AppList(Date: Int, versionCode: Int, Name:String)

def isMapEqual(map1: Map[String, Array[AppList]], map2:Map[String, Array[AppList]]): Boolean = {
try{
if (map1.size != map2.size){
return false
} else{
for ( x <- map1.keys){
if (map1(x) != map2(x)){
return false
}
}
return true
}
} catch {
case e: Exception => false
}
}

def isListEqual(list1: Array[Map[String, Array[AppList]]], list2:Seq[Map[String, Seq[AppList]]]): Boolean = {
try {
if (list1.length != list2.length){
return false
} else if (list1.length == 0 || list2.length == 0){
return false
} else {
return isMapEqual(list1(0), list2(0))
}
} catch {
case e: Exception => false
}
}

val isColumnEqual = udf((list1: Array[Map[String, Array[AppList]]], list2:Array[Map[String, Array[AppList]]]) => {
isListEqual(list1, list2)
})

然后我就贴到spark-shell里去执行了下面语句：

val dat = df.withColumn("equal", isColumnEqual($"list1", $"list2"))
dat.show()

此时就出现了如下错误：

解决办法
所谓的解决办法，自然是去谷歌了…

在这里看到，说把Array改成Seq就好了，囧，尝试了一下，果然就好了

原因
这里说：


意思是，此Array非Scala中的原生Array，而是封装了一下的Array（有错的一定指出来，我都没写过Scala，慌
