Kaushal Prajapati commented on SPARK-19289:
-------------------------------------------

[~srowen], yes you are right, names are not necessarily unique, then if we are 
able to list all the datasets like the same that we are doing  for RDDs using 
*sc.getPersistentRDDs* to list all the RDDs, it would be useful because if i am 
maintaining the unique names for Datasets in a application, i can easily 
uncache it or if i have a group of datasets with the same name, i can also 
uncache all the datasets using this feature.

> We can Cache and Uncache any table using its name in Spark Sql.
> {code}
> df.createTempView("myTable")
> sqlContext.cacheTable("myTable")
> sqlContext.uncacheTable("myTable")
> {code}
> Likewise if it is possible to have some kind of uniqueness for names in 
> DataSets and an abstraction like the same that we have for tables. It would 
> be very useful
> {code}
> scala> val df = sc.range(1,1000).toDF
> df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [value: bigint]
> scala> df.setName("MyDataset")
> res0: df.type = MyDataset
> scala> df.cache
> res1: df.type = MyDataset
> sqlContext.getDataSet("MyDataset")
> sqlContext.uncacheDataSet("MyDataset")
> {code}
