Sorry, didn't realize the mail didn't show the code. Using Spark release
1.6.0

Below is an example to reproduce it.

import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext
val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sparkContext)
import sqlContext.implicits._
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions

case class Test(a:Int, b:Int)
val data = sparkContext.parallelize(Array.range(0, 10).map(x => Test(x,
x+1)))
val df = data.toDF()
val arrayCol = functions.array(df("a"), df("b")).as("arrayCol")

this throws the following exception:
