Hello,

Congrats for 1.0.0 release.

I would like to ask why is it that the table creation requires an proper
class in Scala and Java while in python you can just use a map?
I think that the use of class for definition of table is bit too
restrictive. Using a plain map otoh could be very handy in creating tables
dynamically.

Are there any alternative apis for spark sql which can work with plain java
maps like in python?

Regards
