Felix Cheung commented on SPARK-13174:
--------------------------------------

This hasn't said to be R specific - but in the context of PR 11457 above, we 
discussed R implementation with the name `read.csv` would masked the R base 
package implementation (ie. making it not callable).

As a follow up, I did look into this and found the R base `read.csv` to be too 
generic

{code}
read.csv(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote = "\"",
         dec = ".", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", ...)
{code}

I was not sure if there was a way to implement this in SparkR without masking 
the base version.

Perhaps if we would starting prefixing SparkR methods with `spark.` or 
`sparkR.` (as being done in some specific cases)
