Hyukjin Kwon resolved SPARK-26050.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Implment withColumnExpr method on DataFrame
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-26050
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26050
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Mathew
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently we provide some syntactic sugar in the form of df.selectExpr(),
> which effectively executes as df.select(expr(), expr(), ...)
> I propose we implement a df.withColumnExpr(), which behaves similarly to
> df.withColumn(), except without the colName parameter, instead taking column
> names from the expressions themselves.
> This would stop the unfriendly paradigm of chained
> .withColumn().withColumn().withColumn() expressions, as we could allow
> passing as many column expressions as you want.
> Similar to df.selectExpr(), we should support all of: 'column names', 'column
> expressions', 'column string expressions' as inputs.
> Comments are welcome.
