Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-9999:
------------------------------------

This needs to be designed first. I'm not sure if static code analysis is a 
great idea since they fail often. I'm open to ideas though.

> The RDD API is very flexible, and as a result harder to optimize its 
> execution in some cases. The DataFrame API, on the other hand, is much easier 
> to optimize, but lacks some of the nice perks of the RDD API (e.g. harder to 
> use UDFs, lack of strong types in Scala/Java).
> As a Spark user, I want an API that sits somewhere in the middle of the 
> spectrum so I can write most of my applications with that API, and yet it can 
> be optimized well by Spark to achieve performance and stability.
