It does support it, at least in 2.0.2 as I am running: Here one example:
val parsedLines = stream_of_logs
.map(line => p.parseRecord_viaCSVParser(line))
.join(appsCateg,$"Application"===$"name","left_outer")
.drop("id")
.na.fill(0, Seq(“numeric_field1”,"numeric_field2"))
.na.fill("", Seq(
“text_field1","text_field2","text_field3”))
Notice that you have to differentiate those fields that are meant to be filled
with an int, from those that require a different value, an empty string in my
case.
