Github user aa8y commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/10247#issuecomment-164604835 Isn't the whole point of `Option` to not throw exceptions? Actually it's to not return `null`s I guess. But throwing an exception would defeat the purpose of returning an `Option`. If a person really wants that information, (s)he can still use the existing `getAs` methods.
