With all due respect, the number of functions is not a good measure. Those functions are the most fundamental ones in the DataFrame API. Basically any time anybody wants to refer to a column... just look up stackoverflow. There are tons of answers with sample code doing ‘col. I don’t think Scala should remove the symbol literal syntax given its damage. It looks like it’s possible it will be kept with an import and then Spark users wouldn’t need to suffer. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
