Github user aarondav commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/605#discussion_r9850119 The exact same confusion led me to centralize and document this :) Just as a stylistic thing, I think we can put these on one line (that's the ideal for single-line functions without braces). Also the [R] is inferred from the return type, so this is sufficient: `def returnType(): ClassTag[R] = JavaSparkContext.fakeClassTag`
