@rick-ibm, thanks for working on this. With the Spark Summit just wrapping
up and code freeze for 1.6 tomorrow I don't think there is going to be a lot of
review bandwidth for a patch this large until after the release. While it
would be nice to secure things, this doesn't seem like a particularly high
priority vulnerability since any user that is creating a dataframe by querying
JDBC must have the credentials already and could just open their own connection.
I haven't looked closely at the implementation, but one high level question
is whether this is breaking the use case where a users gives a subquery instead
of a table name (i.e. `dbtable = (SELECT ...)`.) This is an important part of
the API that we can't break.
