             Summary: Remove Self Type for Dataset
                 Key: SPARK-49568
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-49568
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Connect, SQL
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
            Reporter: Herman van Hövell


We are currently using a self type for Dataset. This makes it a bit easier (in 
Scala land) to deal with covariant parameters and return types.

The current approach is unfortunately a bit leaky. For example the self-type 
leaks into SparkSession and things like the Catalog. This is a bit distracting 
especially when you use these classes in java.

The proposal is to either remove the self-type and rely on overrides (which 
have to anyway), or to take another stab at using type members.
