Yan commented on SPARK-12988:
-----------------------------
My thinking is that projections should parse the column names; while the
schema-based ops should keep the names as is. One thing I'm not sure is
"Column". Given its current capabilities, it seems it is for projections so its
name should be backticked if it contains a '.'. But please correct me if I'm
wrong here.

> Key: SPARK-12988
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12988
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Michael Armbrust
>
> Neither of theses works:
> {code}
> val df = Seq((1, 1)).toDF("a_b", "a.c")
> df.drop("a.c").collect()
> df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [a_b: int, a.c: int]
> {code}
> {code}
> val df = Seq((1, 1)).toDF("a_b", "a.c")
> df.drop("`a.c`").collect()
> df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [a_b: int, a.c: int]
> {code}
> Given that you can't use drop to drop subfields, it seems to me that we
> should treat the column name literally (i.e. as though it is wrapped in back
> ticks).
