Kapil Singh commented on SPARK-16894:
-------------------------------------

This is not about selecting first n elements/columns from a Row. It's for 
selecting first n elements of an array type column. So for every record/Row the 
input column has some m elements but the result column has only first n 
elements of the input column. This operation is similar to scala collection's 
take operation. The scope of the operation is cell values and not Row.

> take function for returning the first n elements of array column
