Github user mateiz commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/539#issuecomment-35172231 BTW according to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/lambda-1984522.html for example, lambdas should work with method overloading, in which case Java will select the method that best matches the return type of your lambda. Look at their Callable vs Runnable example. So I'd really recommend trying this without the wrappers.
