             Summary: Improve the clarity of caching semantics
                 Key: SPARK-3212
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3212
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Michael Armbrust
            Priority: Blocker


Right now there are a bunch of different ways to cache tables in Spark SQL. For 
example:
 - tweets.cache()
 - sql("SELECT * FROM tweets").cache()
 - table("tweets").cache()
 - tweets.cache().registerTempTable(tweets)
 - sql("CACHE TABLE tweets")
 - cacheTable("tweets")

Each of the above commands has subtly different semantics, leading to a very 
confusing user experience.  Ideally, we would stop doing caching based on 
simple tables names and instead have a phase of optimization that does 
intelligent matching of query plans with available cached data.
