> Hive supports the [LATERAL VIEW OUTER|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+LateralView#LanguageManualLateralView-OuterLateralViews] syntax to make sure that when an array is empty, the content from the outer table is still returned.
> Within Spark, this is currently only possible within the HiveContext and executing HiveQL statements. It would be nice if the standard explode() DataFrame method allows the same. A possible signature would be:
> {code:scala}
> explode[A, B](inputColumn: String, outputColumn: String, outer: Boolean = false)
> {code}
