>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SparkR

> Right now in SparkR we need to specify the columns used using `$` or strings. 
> For example to run select we would do
> {code}
> df1 <- select(df, df$age > 10)
> {code}
> It would be good to infer the set of columns in a dataframe automatically and 
> resolve symbols for column names. For example
> {code} 
> df1 <- select(df, age > 10)
> {code}
> One way to do this is to build an environment with all the column names to 
> column handles and then use `substitute(arg, env = columnNameEnv)`
