### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In functions.py, there is a function added `def column(col)`. There is also another method in the same file `def col(col)`. This leads to some ambiguity on whether the parameter is being referred to or the function. In pyspark 3.1.2, this leads to `TypeError: 'str' object is not callable` when the function `column(col)` is called - the highest preference is given to the string variable in scope as opposed to the function `col `in the file as intended.
This PR fixes that ambiguity by changing the variable name to `col_like`. I have filed this as an issue on JIRA here - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-35643.
### Why are the changes needed?
In pyspark 3.1.2, we see `TypeError: 'str' object is not callable` when `column()` function is called. This Pr fixes that error.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No
### How was this patch tested?
I don't believe this patch needs additional testing.
Closes#32771 from keerthanvasist/col.
