> Key: SPARK-8670
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8670
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: PySpark, SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.5.0
> Reporter: Nicholas Chammas

> This is strange and looks like a regression from 1.3.
> {code}
> import json
> daterz = [
> {
> 'name': 'Nick',
> 'stats': {
> 'age': 28
> }
> },
> {
> 'name': 'George',
> 'stats': {
> 'age': 31
> }
> }
> ]
> df = sqlContext.jsonRDD(sc.parallelize(daterz).map(lambda x: json.dumps(x)))
> df.select('stats.age').show()
> df['stats.age'] # 1.4 fails on this line
> {code}
> On 1.3 this works and yields:
> {code}
> age
> 28
> 31
> Out[1]: Column<stats.age AS age#2958L>
> {code}
> On 1.4, however, this gives an error on the last line:
> {code}
> +---+
> |age|
> +---+
> | 28|
> | 31|
