@JihongMA I did a bit research and also talked to @mengxr. I don't think
this range function provides enough value (since it is just max - min for
users) to justify adding it, because:
1. It is non-obvious what range means from the name.
2. There is already a range function on SQLContext. This one is just
semantically confusing, but not incompatible since they are in different
namespace.
3. There is already a range function in Python, which is incompatible with
the range here.
I'm going to close the JIRA ticket as won't fix. Sorry about it.
