Shivaram Venkataraman updated SPARK-7482:
-----------------------------------------
Target Version/s: 1.4.0
> Rename some DataFrame API methods in SparkR to match their counterparts in
> Scala
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-7482
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7482
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SparkR
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Sun Rui
> Priority: Critical
>
> This is re-consideration on how to solve name conflict. Previously, we rename
> API names from Scala API if there is name conflict with base or other
> commonly-used packages. However, from long term perspective, this is not good
> for API stability, because we can't predict name conflicts, for example, if
> in the future a name added in base package conflicts with an API in SparkR?
> So the better policy is to keep API name same as Scala's without worrying
> about name conflicts. When users use SparkR, they should load SparkR as last
> package, so that all API names are effective. Use can explicitly use :: to
> refer to hidden names from other packages.
