Shivaram Venkataraman commented on SPARK-11886:
-----------------------------------------------

We can't really help this scenario -- Basically the package loaded last gets 
control of the method and in this case the call to `select(DataFrame, 1)` is 
being captured by dplyr and then forwarded to `select_`. AFAIK there is very 
little we can change in our definition of `select` to avoid this. 

I'm more interested in the reverse -- if you load dplyr first and then load 
SparkR, does `select` work on a local R data.frame ? This is something we can 
avoid breaking using our generics etc.

> base::sample
> base::table

> If we have same name but the param types completely don't match (and no room 
> for ...) then we override those functions but (This is true for sample, 
> table, cov right now I guess) we should try to limit the number of functions 
> where we do this. Also we should revisit some of these to see if we can avoid 
> it (for example table can be renamed ?)
