gatorsmile commented on issue #23607: [SPARK-26681][SQL] Support Ammonite 
inner-class scopes.
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23607#issuecomment-459168879
 
 
   In Spark SQL, we rejected all the similar PRs in the past and I do not 
remember we made any exception in the past. We normally suggest users to do it 
in their forks, instead of merging/maintaining them in the upstream. We are 
very conservative in the code merging, especially when we are not familiar with 
the changes. For example, the other contributors try it, realize that it does 
not work well and submit more PRs. We even do not know who can review the 
changes.    
   
   For this specific PR, actually, @zsxwing @lihaoyi @liancheng had an internal 
Hackathon project for supporting Ammonite, which is much better than Scala Repl 
TBH. However, based on my understanding, the sizing is not small if we want to 
make an official support of Ammonite in Apache Spark. If we want to officially 
support it, we might need a SPIP with a clear design doc. So far, I think very 
few people can actually lead this effort to finish, review and maintain it. 
Thus, I do not think we should simply merge this PR and maintain it without 
knowing the context, the scope and the motivation. WDYT? @srowen
