Martin Senne updated SPARK-10868:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
With SPARK-7135 and https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/5709 
`monotonicallyIncreasingID()` allows to create an index column with unique ids. 
The indexing always starts at 0 (no offset).

**Feature wish**: Having a parameter `offset`, such that the function can be 
used as

    {{monotonicallyIncreasingID( offset )}}

and indexing *starts at `offset` instead of 0*.

**Background and justification**: 

Add rows to a DataFrame that is already written to a DB (via .jdbc).
In detail:
- A DataFrame A (containing an ID column) and having indices from 0 to 199 in 
that column is existent in DB.
- New rows need to be added to A. This included
-- Creating a DataFrame **A'** with new rows, but without id column
-- Add the index column to **A'** - this time starting at **200**, as there are 
already entries with id's from 0 to 199 (**here is where 
monotonicallyInreasingID( 200 ) is required.**)
-- union **A** and **A'**
-- store into DB
