> One big advantage of the Dataset API is the type safety, at the cost of 
> performance due to heavy reliance on user-defined closures/lambdas. These 
> closures are typically slower than expressions because we have more 
> flexibility to optimize expressions (known data types, no virtual function 
> calls, etc). In many cases, it's actually not going to be very difficult to 
> look into the byte code of these closures and figure out what they are trying 
> to do. If we can understand them, then we can turn them directly into 
> Catalyst expressions for more optimized executions.
> Some examples are:
> {code}
> df.map(_.name)  // equivalent to expression col("name")
> ds.groupBy(_.gender)  // equivalent to expression col("gender")
> df.filter(_.age > 18)  // equivalent to expression GreaterThan(col("age"), 
> lit(18)
> df.map(_.id + 1)  // equivalent to Add(col("age"), lit(1))
> {code}
> The goal of this ticket is to design a small framework for byte code analysis 
> and use that to convert closures/lambdas into Catalyst expressions in order 
> to speed up Dataset execution. It is a little bit futuristic, but I believe 
> it is very doable. The framework should be easy to reason about (e.g. similar 
> to Catalyst).
> Note that a big emphasis on "small" and "easy to reason about". A patch 
> should be rejected if it is too complicated or difficult to reason about.
