HyukjinKwon opened a new pull request #23784: [SPARK-26870][SQL] Move to_avro/from_avro into functions object due to Java compatibility
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23784
 
 
   ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   
   Currently, looks, to use `from_avro` and `to_avro` in Java APIs side,
   
   ```java
   import static org.apache.spark.sql.avro.package$.MODULE$;
   
   MODULE$.to_avro
   MODULE$.from_avro
   ```
   
   This PR targets to deprecate and move both functions under `avro` package into `functions` object like the way of our `org.apache.spark.sql.functions`.
   
   Therefore, Java side can import:
   
   ```java
   import static org.apache.spark.sql.avro.functions.*;
   ```
   
   and Scala side can import:
   
   ```scala
   import org.apache.spark.sql.avro.functions._
   ```
   
   
   
   ## How was this patch tested?
   
   Manually tested, and unit tests for Java APIs were added.
