Fernando Díaz commented on SPARK-25153:
---------------------------------------
I will take a look at it. Quick question:
Given a dataframe with just one column named "Spark.Dots", should the error
appear for both of the following examples?
{code:java}
df.col("Spark.Dots")
df.col("Completely.Different.Name"){code}
In the first case, Spark will try to extract the value "Dots" from the column.
In the second case, it won't be able to resolve the column because there is no
column with the qualifier "Completely".
