Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/635#issuecomment-35848534 @coderxiang btw - it might be something where we make it a private API so it can be used inside of Spark if other packages need this to do broadcast joins. It would be good to understand a bit the intended use case though.
