[SPARK-20278][R] Disable 'multiple_dots_linter' lint rule that is against project's code style ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Currently, multi-dot separated variables in R is not allowed. For example, ```diff setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"), - function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) { + function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) { if (asJsonArray) { jschema <- callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes", "createArrayType", ``` produces an error as below: ``` R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names should be separated by '_' rather than '.'. function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ ``` This seems against https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml#identifiers which says > The preferred form for variable names is all lower case letters and words separated with dots This looks because lintr https://github.com/jimhester/lintr follows http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/style.html as written in the README.md. Few cases seems not following Google's one as "a few tweaks". Per SPARK-6813, we follow Google's R Style Guide with few exceptions https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml. This is also merged into Spark's website - https://github.com/apache/spark-website/pull/43 Also, it looks we have no limit on function name. This rule also looks affecting to the name of functions as written in the README.md. > `multiple_dots_linter`: check that function and variable names are separated by _ rather than .. ## How was this patch tested? Manually tested as below: ```R setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"), - function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) { + function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) { if (asJsonArray) { jschema <- callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes", "createArrayType", ``` **Before** ```R R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names should be separated by '_' rather than '.'. function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ ``` **After** ``` lintr checks passed. ``` You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/HyukjinKwon/spark disable-dot-in-name Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17590.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #17590 ---- commit ed0dd869a24bc10cfce7dacc8b4b6d57c3ced6de Author: hyukjinkwon <gurwls...@gmail.com> Date: 2017-04-10T09:35:59Z Disable 'multiple_dots_linter' lint rule that is against project's code style ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
