Felix Cheung commented on SPARK-10903:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for testing this out and helping to diagnose the issue.

I'd suggest going with custom dispatch because:

1. Reference objects are all of class 'jobj' - this can cause dispatch problem 
and would require additional checks etc.
For instance, the 2nd parameter `data` for createDataFrame can be RDD which is 
of class 'jobj'
These are the 'jobj' types: Column, DataFrame, GroupData, PipelineModel, 
RDD/PipelinedRDD, sqlContext/hiveCtx

2. There are 15 methods we want to remove the sqlContext parameter from.
It is quite messy to add 30 exports just for that.


> Simplify SQLContext method signatures and use a singleton

> Make sqlContext global so that we don't have to always specify it.
> e.g. createDataFrame(iris) instead of createDataFrame(sqlContext, iris)
