@erikerlandson What do you think about releasing this (and maybe #1909) as
a library on Maven or http://spark-packages.org? I'm not sure that this is an
API that we necessarily want to put in core yet, but if you publish it as a
package then folks would be able to use it with their existing Spark
deployments without having to upgrade. The interface for users could still be
pretty nice: just add an implicit class / object or set of implicit
conversions, then have users import that.
Spark Packages has a helpful command line tool for creating a project
template, which might be a timesaver if you decide to go this route:
http://spark-packages.org/package/databricks/spark-package-cmd-tool.
