您可以包括spark avro包，例如使用 --packages （调整版本以匹配Spark安装）：

bin/pyspark --packages org.apache.spark:spark-avro_2.11:2.4.0

并提供自己的 Package 材料：

from pyspark.sql.column import Column, _to_java_column 

def from_avro(col, jsonFormatSchema): 
    sc = SparkContext._active_spark_context 
    avro = sc._jvm.org.apache.spark.sql.avro
    f = getattr(getattr(avro, "package$"), "MODULE$").from_avro
    return Column(f(_to_java_column(col), jsonFormatSchema)) 

def to_avro(col): 
    sc = SparkContext._active_spark_context 
    avro = sc._jvm.org.apache.spark.sql.avro
    f = getattr(getattr(avro, "package$"), "MODULE$").to_avro
    return Column(f(_to_java_column(col)))

示例用法（从官方测试套件中采用）：

from pyspark.sql.functions import col, struct

avro_type_struct = """
{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "struct",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "col1", "type": "long"},
    {"name": "col2", "type": "string"}
  ]
}"""

df = spark.range(10).select(struct(
    col("id"),
    col("id").cast("string").alias("id2")
).alias("struct"))
avro_struct_df = df.select(to_avro(col("struct")).alias("avro"))
avro_struct_df.show(3)
