SQL context available as sqlContext.
scala> val df = Seq(("id1", 1), ("id2", 4), ("id3", 5)).toDF("id", "value")
df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [id: string, value: int]
scala> df.select(callUDF("percentile_approx",col("value"),
lit(0.25))).show()

|'percentile_approx(value,0.25)|

| 1.0|

Can you upgrade to 1.5.1 ?
Cheers
