## How was this patch tested?
Manual tests, existing unit tests, doc build.
Author: zero323 <zero323@users.noreply.github.com>
Closes#17605 from zero323/SPARK-20290.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR proposes to fill up the documentation with examples for `bitwiseOR`, `bitwiseAND`, `bitwiseXOR`. `contains`, `asc` and `desc` in `Column` API.
Also, this PR fixes minor typos in the documentation and matches some of the contents between Scala doc and Python doc.
Lastly, this PR suggests to use `spark` rather than `sc` in doc tests in `Column` for Python documentation.
## How was this patch tested?
Doc tests were added and manually tested with the commands below:
`./python/run-tests.py --module pyspark-sql`
`./python/run-tests.py --module pyspark-sql --python-executable python3`
`./dev/lint-python`
Output was checked via `make html` under `./python/docs`. The snapshots will be left on the codes with comments.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Add docstrings to column.py for the Column functions `rlike`, `like`, `startswith`, and `endswith`. Pass these docstrings through `_bin_op`
There may be a better place to put the docstrings. I put them immediately above the Column class.
## How was this patch tested?
I ran `make html` on my local computer to remake the documentation, and verified that the html pages were displaying the docstrings correctly. I tried running `dev-tests`, and the formatting tests passed. However, my mvn build didn't work I think due to issues on my computer.
These docstrings are my original work and free license.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR proposes to remove incorrect implementation that has been not executed so far (at least from Spark 1.5.2) for `in` operator and throw a correct exception rather than saying it is a bool. I tested the codes above in 1.5.2, 1.6.3, 2.1.0 and in the master branch as below:
**1.5.2**
```python
>>> df = sqlContext.createDataFrame([[1]])
>>> 1 in df._1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../spark-1.5.2-bin-hadoop2.6/python/pyspark/sql/column.py", line 418, in __nonzero__
raise ValueError("Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', "
ValueError: Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', '~' for 'not' when building DataFrame boolean expressions.
```
**1.6.3**
```python
>>> 1 in sqlContext.range(1).id
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../spark-1.6.3-bin-hadoop2.6/python/pyspark/sql/column.py", line 447, in __nonzero__
raise ValueError("Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', "
ValueError: Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', '~' for 'not' when building DataFrame boolean expressions.
```
**2.1.0**
```python
>>> 1 in spark.range(1).id
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7/python/pyspark/sql/column.py", line 426, in __nonzero__
raise ValueError("Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', "
ValueError: Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', '~' for 'not' when building DataFrame boolean expressions.
```
**Current Master**
```python
>>> 1 in spark.range(1).id
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../spark/python/pyspark/sql/column.py", line 452, in __nonzero__
raise ValueError("Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', "
ValueError: Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', '~' for 'not' when building DataFrame boolean expressions.
```
**After**
```python
>>> 1 in spark.range(1).id
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../spark/python/pyspark/sql/column.py", line 184, in __contains__
raise ValueError("Cannot apply 'in' operator against a column: please use 'contains' "
ValueError: Cannot apply 'in' operator against a column: please use 'contains' in a string column or 'array_contains' function for an array column.
```
In more details,
It seems the implementation intended to support this
```python
1 in df.column
```
However, currently, it throws an exception as below:
```python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../spark/python/pyspark/sql/column.py", line 426, in __nonzero__
raise ValueError("Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', "
ValueError: Cannot convert column into bool: please use '&' for 'and', '|' for 'or', '~' for 'not' when building DataFrame boolean expressions.
```
What happens here is as below:
```python
class Column(object):
def __contains__(self, item):
print "I am contains"
return Column()
def __nonzero__(self):
raise Exception("I am nonzero.")
>>> 1 in Column()
I am contains
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 6, in __nonzero__
Exception: I am nonzero.
```
It seems it calls `__contains__` first and then `__nonzero__` or `__bool__` is being called against `Column()` to make this a bool (or int to be specific).
It seems `__nonzero__` (for Python 2), `__bool__` (for Python 3) and `__contains__` forcing the the return into a bool unlike other operators. There are few references about this as below:
https://bugs.python.org/issue16011http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12244074/python-source-code-for-built-in-in-operator/12244378#12244378http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38542543/functionality-of-python-in-vs-contains/38542777
It seems we can't overwrite `__nonzero__` or `__bool__` as a workaround to make this working because these force the return type as a bool as below:
```python
class Column(object):
def __contains__(self, item):
print "I am contains"
return Column()
def __nonzero__(self):
return "a"
>>> 1 in Column()
I am contains
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __nonzero__ should return bool or int, returned str
```

Closes#17036 from cloud-fan/pyspark.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Add a `metadata` keyword parameter to `pyspark.sql.Column.alias()` to allow users to mix-in metadata while manipulating `DataFrame`s in `pyspark`. Without this, I believe it was necessary to pass back through `SparkSession.createDataFrame` each time a user wanted to manipulate `StructField.metadata` in `pyspark`.
This pull request also improves consistency between the Scala and Python APIs (i.e. I did not add any functionality that was not already in the Scala API).
Discussed ahead of time on JIRA with marmbrus

Closes#12917 from andrewor14/deprecate-hive-context-python.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
1. Deprecated unionAll. It is pretty confusing to have both "union" and "unionAll" when the two do the same thing in Spark but are different in SQL.
2. Rename reduce in KeyValueGroupedDataset to reduceGroups so it is more consistent with rest of the functions in KeyValueGroupedDataset. Also makes it more obvious what "reduce" and "reduceGroups" mean. Previously it was confusing because it could be reducing a Dataset, or just reducing groups.
3. Added a "name" function, which is more natural to name columns than "as" for non-SQL users.
4. Remove "subtract" function since it is just an alias for "except".
## How was this patch tested?
All changes should be covered by existing tests. Also added couple test cases to cover "name".

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
We have seen users getting confused by the documentation for astype and drop_duplicates, because the examples in them do not use these functions (but do uses their aliases). This patch simply removes all examples for these functions, and say that they are aliases.

Existing PySpark unit tests.
Closes#11543.

Closes#11698 from rxin/SPARK-10380.
This PR introduces several major changes:
1. Replacing `Expression.prettyString` with `Expression.sql`
The `prettyString` method is mostly an internal, developer faced facility for debugging purposes, and shouldn't be exposed to users.
1. Using SQL-like representation as column names for selected fields that are not named expression (back-ticks and double quotes should be removed)
Before, we were using `prettyString` as column names when possible, and sometimes the result column names can be weird. Here are several examples:
Expression | `prettyString` | `sql` | Note
------------------ | -------------- | ---------- | ---------------
`a && b` | `a && b` | `a AND b` |
`a.getField("f")` | `a[f]` | `a.f` | `a` is a struct
1. Adding trait `NonSQLExpression` extending from `Expression` for expressions that don't have a SQL representation (e.g. Scala UDF/UDAF and Java/Scala object expressions used for encoders)
`NonSQLExpression.sql` may return an arbitrary user facing string representation of the expression.

This pull request rewrites CaseWhen expression to break the single, monolithic "branches" field into a sequence of tuples (Seq[(condition, value)]) and an explicit optional elseValue field.
Prior to this pull request, each even position in "branches" represents the condition for each branch, and each odd position represents the value for each branch. The use of them have been pretty confusing with a lot sliding windows or grouped(2) calls.

Closes#10734 from rxin/simplify-case.
`pyspark.sql.column.Column` object has `__getitem__` method, which makes it iterable for Python. In fact it has `__getitem__` to address the case when the column might be a list or dict, for you to be able to access certain element of it in DF API. The ability to iterate over it is just a side effect that might cause confusion for the people getting familiar with Spark DF (as you might iterate this way on Pandas DF for instance)
Issue reproduction:
```
df = sqlContext.jsonRDD(sc.parallelize(['{"name": "El Magnifico"}']))
for i in df["name"]: print i
```

Most occurrences I've seen so far are necessary conversions; a few have been avoidable. None are in critical code as far as I see, yet.

It's a common mistake that user will put Column in a boolean expression (together with `and` , `or`), which does not work as expected, we should raise a exception in that case, and suggest user to use `&`, `|` instead.
