Brandon Bradley commented on SPARK-26393:
-----------------------------------------

I'm experiencing this as well; except I get `TypeError: 'Column' object is not 
callable` as an error.

Where is the discussion around disallowing other types?

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.2
>            Reporter: Ahmed Kamal
>            Priority: Minor

> When Calling date_add from pyspark.sql.functions directly without using expr, 
> like this : 
> {code:java}
> df.withColumn("added", F.date_add(F.to_date(F.lit('1998-9-26')), 
> F.col('days'))).toPandas(){code}
> It will raise Error : `TypeError: Column is not iterable`
> because it only taking a number not a column 
> but when i try to use it inside an expr, like this :
> {code:java}
> df.withColumn("added", F.expr("date_add(to_date('1998-9-26'), 
> days)")).toPandas(){code}
> It will work fine.
> Shouldn't it behave the same way ? 
> and i think its logical to accept a column  here as well.
> A python Notebook to demonstrate :
