Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-26433:
--------------------------------------

You can simply do it after {{collect()}}. Let's avoid to add APIs when 
workarounds are easy. Spark already has a lot of APIs and I think we should 
focus on deprecading and reducing it, and only add APIs when they're absolutely 
worth.
