Github user nchammas commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14579 Ah, you're right. So if we want to avoid needing magic methods in the main RDD/DataFrame classes and avoid needing a separate utility method like `cache()`, I think one option available to us is to have separate `PersistedRDD` and `PersistedDataFrame` classes that simply wrap the base RDD and DataFrames classes and add the appropriate magic methods. `.persist()` and `.cache()` would then return instances of these classes, which should satisfy the `type(x).__enter__(x)` behavior while still preserving backwards compatibility and method chaining. What do you think of that?
