    What about a user seeing this exception? With the current description 
(which I am very open to improve), he/she is aware that he/she is trying to do 
something which is not allowed (at least at the moment), ie. we might hit this 
exception when using `sqlContext.read.json(...)` on arrays of primitives. Your 
suggested description would be a bit weird to a user: he/she might feel he/she 
is doing something wrong to achieve something which can be done, but of course 
he/she knows nothing about these functions so he/she would be lost IMHO.
