Fix Version/s: (was: 2.3.0)
2.2.0
> Dataset should allow by-name resolution for struct type elements in array

>
> if we have a DataFrame with schema {{a: int, b: int, c: int}}, and convert it
> to Dataset with {{case class Data(a: Int, c: Int)}}, it works and we will
> extract the `a` and `c` columns to build the Data.
> However, if the struct is inside array, e.g. schema is {{arr: array<struct<a:
> int, b: int, c: int>>}}, and we wanna convert it to Dataset with {{case class
> ComplexData(arr: Seq[Data])}}, we will fail. The reason is, to allow
> compatible types, e.g. convert {{a: int}} to {{case class A(a: Long)}}, we
> will add cast for each field, except struct type field, because struct type
> is flexible, the number of columns can mismatch. We should probably also skip
> cast for array and map type.
