Eric O. LEBIGOT (EOL) commented on SPARK-4992:
----------------------------------------------
Thank you for your response!
It does not fail, it just shadows an existing built-in. It is considered bad
style, because it changes the expected meaning of file (this is official, IIRC).
textFile is not good as per PEP 8. :)
I suggest either "text_file", or, shorter, "lines".
> Prominent Python example has bad, beginner style

> In the main webpage http://spark.apache.org/, the Python example uses a
> variable named "file": this is a well-known bad practice (because file is the
> name of a built-in class).
> Such a prominently visible example should show a better mastery of Python, if
> Spark is to give confidence in the quality of its Python API.
