Mihaly Toth commented on SPARK-23329:
-------------------------------------

Nice. I like that the redundant description part is simply omitted.

The only issue I see is that {{e}} is actually not an angle. At least we could 
put it into plural, like:
{code}
/**
 * @param e angles in radians
 * @return sines of the angles, as if computed by [[java.lang.Math.sin]]
 * ...
 */
{code}
 
I was also thinking about mentioning that it is actually a Column does not 
inflate the lines very much. At the same time they are more precise.

{code}
/**
 * @param e [[Column]] of angles in radians
 * @return [[Column]] of sines of the angles, as if computed by 
[[java.lang.Math.sin]]
 * ...
 */
{code}

Now looking at this the first one seems better because it tells truth and one 
can figure out easily that the angles are stored in a Column.

> We need an update on the function descriptions for all the trigonometric 
> functions. For example, {{cos}}, {{sin}}, and {{cot}}. Internally, the 
> implementation is based on the java.lang.Math. We need a clear description 
> about the units of the input arguments and the returned values. 
> For example, the following descriptions are lacking such info.
