Github user srowen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2765#issuecomment-77388969 I don't think an additional switch helps; a depth parameter is the right way to specify the depth. I also don't think it's a configuration parameter as it is specific to the method call. What I'm suggesting is to simply not have so many overloads. A method like `fileStream` need only add the depth parameter to one of its overloads, not all. It can go on the overload with the most arguments.
