WalkthroughThe project moves to Java 17, Scala 2.13, and Spark 4.2. CI workflows are updated. Spark Avro conversion uses compatibility helpers. Schema construction, tests, and documentation are updated for ABRiS 7. ChangesSpark 4.2 and Scala 2.13 migration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR moves ABRiS to Spark 4 and Scala 2.13 while changing Avro conversion internals; an unresolved schema-lookup regression may reject valid nested column references, and the documentation contains conflicting compatibility versions.

In @.github/workflows/ci-check-jacoco.yml:
- Around line 17-20: Update both Java setup steps in
.github/workflows/ci-check-jacoco.yml lines 17-20 and
.github/workflows/compatibility-check.yml lines 21-24 to use
actions/setup-java@v6 and distribution: temurin, preserving the existing Java
version.
In @.github/workflows/compatibility-check.yml:
- Line 14: Update the compatibility-check workflow matrix and Maven invocation
to use the branch-specific Scala and Spark versions, including Scala 2.11/2.12
with Spark 2.4 for branch-5, and pass each matrix Scala value into the build
profiles. Alternatively, explicitly exclude branch-5 from this workflow; do not
label a default Scala 2.12 build as Scala 2.13.
In `@pom.xml`:
- Around line 13-14: Update the README installation example to use the ABRiS
7.0.0 coordinates with Scala 2.13 and the Spark 4.x baseline, replacing the
outdated Scala 2.12 and Spark 3.5 values while preserving the surrounding
dependency instructions.
- Around line 51-52: Extend compatibility coverage beyond the current
spark.default.version 4.2.0 by adding matrix entries or explicit checks for
Spark 4.0.x and 4.1.x, while preserving the existing Scala variation and
compatibility-check MiMa workflow. Document the supported Spark range as
4.0.x–4.2.x in the relevant project configuration or documentation.
In `@src/main/scala/za/co/absa/abris/avro/parsing/utils/AvroSchemaUtils.scala`:
- Line 83: The schema construction in AvroSchemaUtils must preserve Catalyst
resolution for nested column paths. Replace the top-level dataFrame.schema
lookup used to build structType with an analyzed dataFrame.select of the
requested column expressions, then read that selection’s schema; add a Spark 4.2

Apache Spark 4.2.0 StructType apply String fieldIndex DataFrame apply String nested column official source
💡 Result:
In Apache Spark 4.2.0, the StructType and DataFrame APIs handle column and field access through distinct mechanisms [1][2][3]. StructType API The StructType class is used for defining and inspecting schema metadata [4]. It provides specific methods to access fields by name or index [1][5]: - apply(String name): Extracts the StructField with the given name [1][6]. - apply(int fieldIndex): Extracts the StructField at the given position [1][6]. - fieldIndex(String name): Returns the integer index of the field with the specified name [1][6]. These methods apply to the schema object itself and are typically used when working with metadata, not for directly selecting or extracting data from a DataFrame record [1][5]. DataFrame Nested Column Access To access nested columns (e.g., fields within a StructType column) in a DataFrame, you should use Spark's column-level expressions rather than StructType methods [3][7]. The standard approaches include: - Dot Notation: The most common way to access nested fields is via dot notation (e.g., $"columnName.nestedField" or col("columnName.nestedField")) [3][8][7]. - getField Method: For programmatic access where the field name is stored in a variable, you can use the getField(String fieldName) method on a Column object [3][7]. Example (Scala): // Using dot notation for static field names val df2 = df.select($"address.city") // Using getField for programmatic access val fieldName = "city" val df3 = df.select($"address".getField(fieldName)) The DataFrame getitem or apply methods (e.g., df("columnName")) are used to retrieve a Column object associated with the DataFrame, but they do not navigate nested structures via direct string index manipulation in the way one might expect from a Map or list structure [3][9]. Always use dot notation or getField for nested field extraction [3][7].

Preserve Catalyst column resolution.
dataFrame.schema(columnName) resolves a field only within the top-level StructType. For Seq("payload.id"), line 83 cannot resolve the nested field and raises FIELD_NOT_FOUND. Build the schema from analyzed columns instead:
val structType = dataFrame.select(columnNames.map(dataFrame(_)): _*).schemaAdd a Spark 4.2 regression test for Seq("parent.child").

Should be investigated in a separate issue, as it is not directly related to the Spark 4 upgrade. May introduce different behaviour
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@kevinwallimann, agreed. This behavior change is outside the Spark 4 upgrade scope and can affect existing callers.
Please let me know if you want me to create a follow-up issue for the nested-column behavior and regression test.

title="Preserve nested column resolution in AvroSchemaUtils.toAvroSchema"
body=$(cat <<'EOF'
## Summary
`AvroSchemaUtils.toAvroSchema` accepts a sequence of column names. Its current implementation builds a `StructType` from `dataFrame.schema(columnName)`. This lookup only resolves top-level schema fields.
Investigate and define the intended behavior for nested column paths such as `Seq("parent.child")`. If nested paths must be supported, preserve Catalyst column resolution when building the schema.
## Rationale
This behavior is outside the Spark 4 upgrade scope. A change can alter behavior for existing callers, so it requires separate investigation and regression coverage.
## Affected area
- `src/main/scala/za/co/absa/abris/avro/parsing/utils/AvroSchemaUtils.scala`
- Spark schema conversion tests for `AvroSchemaUtils`
## Required work
1. Identify existing callers that pass nested column paths to the `columnNames: Seq[String]` overload.
2. Define the compatibility contract for nested paths.
3. If nested paths are supported, construct the selected schema through analyzed DataFrame column expressions rather than direct top-level `StructType` field lookup.
4. Add regression tests for a nested path such as `Seq("parent.child")`.
5. Document any intentional behavior change or compatibility limitation.
## Acceptance criteria
- The nested-column behavior is explicitly defined.
- Tests cover the defined behavior on the supported Spark 4 version.
- The implementation does not unintentionally change top-level column behavior.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 35: Update the branch-6 support note in the README to identify ABRiS
v6.4.0 and later as the Spark 3.5-compatible release line, replacing the
outdated 6.0.x wording while preserving the existing branch-6 link.
- Line 44: Align the documented Confluent client version in the README with the
version configured for the Confluent dependencies in pom.xml, using 8.3.1 unless
7.9.9 is intentionally required; ensure the documentation and build
configuration state the same version.

Closes #369
This PR introduces a breaking change to support Spark v4.0.0+
As with previous major version upgrades of Spark, ABRiS v7.0.0 will not be able to be used on Spark 3.5 and lower. Instead, ABRiS v6.4.0 and above will remain the latest version to use for Spark 3.5. A separate branch (branch-6) will be created for any future releases on top of ABRiS v6.4.0
Spark v4.0.0 introduces a significant breaking change by making
org.apache.spark.sql.Columnan internal (package-private) class. The solution in this PR (thanks to @petitbonney) uses reflection to get around the encapsulation. This is not an ideal and definitive solution, but it is a quick fix to support Spark 4Summary by CodeRabbit
