Review Comment:
   > It's better to avoid breaking change unless it needs a lot of effort.
   
   I do agree that we should avoid breaking change unless necessary. 
   
   However if we are going to normalize the input to the hint method, such as 
requiring it to be a column/literal, we will bring breaking changes. We can 
special-case for `Seq`(not just `Seq[Int]`) to Array, however since the hint 
accept any type of input, we will break other inputs potentially.
   
   Also, I didn't see any hint accept a `Seq` as input in the code, are you 
aware of such hints exists in the wild?
