It seems like its hard to construct a DataType given its String literal representation.
dataframe.types() return column names and its corresponding Types. for example say I have an integer column named "sum" doing dataframe.dtypes() would return "sum" and "IntegerType" but this string representation "IntegerType" doesnt seem to be very useful because I cannot do DataType.fromJson("IntegerType") This will throw an error. so I am not quite sure how to construct a DataType given its String representation ?
