Darren Govoni commented on SPARK-3789:
--------------------------------------

Because the ticket has been open for over a year says nothing about the 
validity of it. It may mean the correct talent is not available to produce it. 
But as mentioned above, the work has been done by 3rd parties.

Also, it is in error to assume that the lack of activity on this ticket is some 
kind of litmus for the value of this capability. Back in the real world, the 
rest of us find alternative solutions to get this capability but would very 
much like to have it unified into Spark. Python is the fast growing data 
science language right now in a field that is also growing.

The entire world of ecommerce on the internet is driven by graph analytics 
(page rank, suggestions, also viewed, etc. etc.) While arcane to some, is a 
very important and growing field of computer science. ESPECIALLY where big data 
is concerned. So its best to set aside any conclusions from the activity of 
this ticket.

The pull request is there, let's get it in.
