----------------------------------------

             Summary: Un-deprecate inferring DataFrame schema from list of dictionaries
                 Key: SPARK-32686
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32686
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PySpark, SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
            Reporter: Nicholas Chammas


Inferring the schema of a DataFrame from a list of dictionaries feels natural for PySpark users, and also mirrors [basic functionality in Pandas|https://stackoverflow.com/a/20638258/877069].

This is currently possible in PySpark but comes with a deprecation warning. We should un-deprecate this behavior if there are no deeper reasons to discourage users from this API, beyond wanting to push them to use {{Row}}.
