Hyukjin Kwon created SPARK-20278:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Disable 'multiple_dots_linter; lint rule that is against 
project's code style
                 Key: SPARK-20278
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20278
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SparkR
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon
            Priority: Minor


Currently, multi-dot separated variables in R is not allowed. For example,

{code}
 setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"),
-          function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) {
+          function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
             if (asJsonArray) {
               jschema <- callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes",
                                      "createArrayType",
{code}

produces an error as below:

{code}
R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names should 
be separated by '_' rather than '.'.
          function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
{code}

This seems against https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml#identifiers 
which says

{quote}
 The preferred form for variable names is all lower case letters and words 
separated with dots
{quote}

This looks because lintr https://github.com/jimhester/lintr follows 
http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/style.html as written in the README.md. This guide line 
seems against the rule.

Per SPARK-6813, we follow Google's R Style Guide with few exceptions 
https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml. This is also merged into 
Spark's website - https://github.com/apache/spark-website/pull/43

Also, we have no limit on function name. This rule also looks affecting to the 
name of functions as written in the README.md.

multiple_dots_linter: check that function and variable names are separated by _ 
rather than ..
