@felixcheung @sun-rui Thanks for your input. Right now if I assign column
names containing "." character, any subsequent operation on the DataFrame will
fail.
Now, regarding @felixcheung's comment on the test case, right now there are
two test cases with str() and with() expecting colnames of iris to be
"Sepal_Length", ..., etc. Those will be broken when they fix SPARK-11976. No
need to add more.
