------------------------------------
Maybe we can just expose the leaf types, and hide all the internal ones?
> Stabilize Spark SQL data type API followup

> Several issues we need to address before release 1.3
> * Do we want to make all classes in
> org.apache.spark.sql.types.dataTypes.scala public? Seems we do not need to
> make those abstract classes public.
> * Seems NativeType is not a very clear and useful concept. Should we just
> remove it?
> * We need to Stabilize the type hierarchy of our data types. Seems StringType
> and Decimal Type should not be primitive types.
