asmello commented on issue #23879: [SPARK-26979][SQL] Add missing column name support for SQL functions URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23879#issuecomment-466762538 > If Spark's going to remove string arguments, it should also be considered to remove string as columns in PySpark APIs as well. I get the reasoning, but like I said, in Python it aligns better with the language to keep the overloads. It's already 99.9% the way to fully consistent, too - it would take a huge refactor to do the subtractive change, but it only takes a few more lines for the additive one. I have no voice over this decision, but I'd be deeply disappointed if PySpark lost the API sugar.
