maryannxue opened a new pull request #24162: [SPARK-27223][SQL] Remove private methods that skip conversion when passing user schemas for constructing a DataFrame
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/24162
 
 
   ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   
   When passing in a user schema to create a DataFrame, there might be mismatched nullability between the user schema and the the actual data. All related public interfaces now perform catalyst conversion using the user provided schema, which catches such mismatches to avoid runtime errors later on. However, there're private methods which allow this conversion to be skipped, so we need to remove these private methods which may lead to confusion and potential issues.
   
   ## How was this patch tested?
   
   Passed existing tests. No new tests were added since this PR removed the private interfaces that would potentially cause null problems and other interfaces are covered already by existing tests.
