      Work Description: kanterov commented on issue #8006: [BEAM-6772] Change 
Select semantics to match what a user expects
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/8006#issuecomment-476284199
 
 
   @reuvenlax I was surprised to see that Spark didn't resolve `select("a.c.d")`
   
   Agree that we should keep iterations quick, and given API is heavily 
experimental we could move forward with increments. I think we did a good 
analysis, and now the problem better. However, we still don't have a good 
formalization of desired semantics.
   
   I'm going to revisit the code again, didn't have time to check this today.

> Consider the following schema:
> User:
>     name: STRING
>     location: Location
>  
> Location:
>     latitude: DOUBLE
>     longitude: DOUBLE
>  
> If you apply Select.fieldNames("location"), most users expect to get back a 
> row matching the Location schema. Instead you get back an outer schema with a 
> single location field in it. Select should instead unnest the output up to 
> the point where multiple fields are selected.
