Chenliang Xu commented on SPARK-17694:
--------------------------------------

It returns a DataSet, for example {noformat} DataSet[FooType] {noformat}

And then the returned value should behave as a DataSet of FooType, while it 
doesn't. The later step of transformation such as {{union}}, may fail because 
the DataSet has more than expected columns.

Consider the following code, the third line should never fail, since we know 
{{ds00}} and {{ds01}} have the same DataSet type.
{code}
val ds00 = df00.as[FooType]
val ds01 = df01.as[FooType]
ds00.join(ds010)
{code}

> convert DataFrame to DataSet should check columns match

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1, 1.6.2
>            Reporter: Chenliang Xu
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The {{as}} method, which converts a DataFrame to DataSet requires the user to 
> ensure the columns are match. And it success even the columns do not match, 
> and cause error at later steps.
> It would be better, to let {{as}} match the columns, and fail/warn when the 
> match fails.
