>                 Key: SPARK-3212
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3212
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>            Reporter: Michael Armbrust

> Right now there are a bunch of different ways to cache tables in Spark SQL. 
> For example:
>  - tweets.cache()
>  - sql("SELECT * FROM tweets").cache()
>  - table("tweets").cache()
>  - tweets.cache().registerTempTable(tweets)
>  - sql("CACHE TABLE tweets")
>  - cacheTable("tweets")
> Each of the above commands has subtly different semantics, leading to a very 
> confusing user experience.  Ideally, we would stop doing caching based on 
> simple tables names and instead have a phase of optimization that does 
> intelligent matching of query plans with available cached data.
