-----------------------------------
Hm, is this considered a public API? I don't know. I would think MiMa would
fail the build if this were meant to be part of the public API.
> Catalyst breaks backwards compatibility in branch-1.6
> -----------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-11855
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11855
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Santiago M. Mola
> Priority: Critical
>
> There's a number of APIs broken in catalyst 1.6.0. I'm trying to compile most
> cases:
> *UnresolvedRelation*'s constructor has been changed from taking a Seq to a
> TableIdentifier. A deprecated constructor taking Seq would be needed to be
> backwards compatible.
> {code}
> case class UnresolvedRelation(
> - tableIdentifier: Seq[String],
> + tableIdentifier: TableIdentifier,
> alias: Option[String] = None) extends LeafNode {
> {code}
> It is similar with *UnresolvedStar*:
> {code}
> -case class UnresolvedStar(table: Option[String]) extends Star with
> Unevaluable {
> +case class UnresolvedStar(target: Option[Seq[String]]) extends Star with
> Unevaluable {
> {code}
> Spark 1.5 already broke backwards compatibility of part of catalyst API with
> respect to 1.4. I understand there are good reasons for some cases, but we
> should try to minimize backwards compatibility breakages for 1.x. Specially
> now that 2.x is on the horizon and there will be a near opportunity to remove
> deprecated stuff.
