> This is re-consideration on how to solve name conflict. Previously, we rename 
> API names from Scala API if there is name conflict with base or other 
> commonly-used packages. However, from long term perspective, this is not good 
> for API stability, because we can't predict name conflicts, for example, if 
> in the future a name added in base package conflicts with an API in SparkR? 
> So the better policy is to keep API name same as Scala's without worrying 
> about name conflicts. When users use SparkR, they should load SparkR as last 
> package, so that all API names are effective. Use can explicitly use :: to 
> refer to hidden names from other packages.
