+#' Avro processing functions defined for \code{Column}.

+#' @family avro functions
+#' @note Avro is built-in but external data source module since Spark 2.4.

Avro Data Source Guide".

+#' \code{from_avro} Converts a binary column of Avro format into its 
corresponding catalyst value.
+#' The specified schema must match the read data, otherwise the behavior is 
undefined:
+#' it may fail or return arbitrary result.
+#' To deserialize the data with a compatible and evolved schema, the expected 
Avro schema can be
+#' set via the option avroSchema.

Review comment:
       Oh no. I think that's fine but we'll have to add the R example in the 
link I pointed out.

Review comment:
       Separating them sounds like an idea, yes. But for now I think we should 
just put it in the same place; otherwise, it would make more sense to place ML 
ones separately to follow the structure in PySpark side.
