Kapil Singh commented on SPARK-16894:
-------------------------------------
The use case is similar to scala collection's take method. So, for example, one
of the input columns is an array containing product category hierarchy e.g.
[apparel, men, t-shirt, printed, ...] and I'm only interested in first n (say
3) categories. I want a function/expression on DataFrame so that I can get an
output column containing only first 3 categories e.g. [apparel, men, t-shirt]
> take function for returning the first n elements of array column
