[SPARK-25769][SQL]change nested columns from `a.b` to `a`.`b` ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Currently, ```$"a.b".expr.asInstanceOf[UnresolvedAttribute].sql``` returns ``` res1: String = `a.b` ``` This PR will change the nested column to ``` `a`.`b` ``` ## How was this patch tested? I didn't add any new test. However, I changed several of the existing tests to make them to expect the nested columns to have the format of ``` `a`.`b` ``` You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/huaxingao/spark spark-25769 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/22788.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 #22788 ---- commit 2aa4ad97c8b9df5fdd022653549a0252dbb819b6 Author: Huaxin Gao <huaxing@...> Date: 2018-10-21T16:13:49Z [SPARK-25769][SQL]change nested columns from to . ---- --- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: reviews-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: reviews-h...@spark.apache.org
