    > Thing is, fromDDL was added because it's needed other APIs rather then 
it's own purpose. 
    
    The `toDDL` function can be reused from `SHOW CREATE TABLE` too: 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/bac50aa37168a7612702a4503750a78ed5d59c78/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/command/tables.scala#L999
    
    > I wonder how commonly it will be used to be honest. I haven't seen such 
requests before frankly.
    
    Frankly speaking I cannot say there is high demand for the method from our 
users. 
    
    > It's one liner code and I think we haven't added APIs when the 
workarounds are easy usually so far. 
    
    Do you think I should close the PR?
