Smeb opened a new pull request #28071: update rand() function documentation to 
indicate exclusive upper bound
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/28071
 
 
   ### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   A small documentation change to clarify that the `rand()` function produces 
values in `[0.0, 1.0)`
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   `rand()` uses `Rand()` - which generates values in [0, 1) ([documented 
here](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/a1dbcd13a3eeaee50cc1a46e909f9478d6d55177/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/randomExpressions.scala#L71)).
 The existing documentation suggests that 1.0 is a possible value returned by 
rand (i.e for a distribution written as `X ~ U(a, b)`, x can be a or b, so 
`U[0.0, 1.0]` suggests the value returned could include 1.0).
   
   ### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
   No.
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   Documentation changes only
