Yin Huai commented on SPARK-2179:
---------------------------------
Just a note. For every data type we have, I think it is better to have a string
name (e.g. "int" for IntegerType).
> Public API for DataTypes and Schema

> We want something like the following:
> * Expose DataType in the SQL package and lock down all the internal details
> (TypeTags, etc)
> * Programatic API for viewing the schema of an RDD as a StructType
> * Method that creates a schema RDD given (RDD[A], StructType, A => Row)
