Github user cloud-fan commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8403#issuecomment-134471917 Like the `buildScan` in data source, we shoud not expose internal types outside spark sql, but we also need to provide the ability to build efficient data source by using internal types directly(no conversions) for our build-in data source or advanced users. There maybe some cases that user need the internal types in Filter to avoid converions and speed up operations, I think we need to improve our data source API to make this stuff more flexible. cc @liancheng
