             Summary: Support more than 5 typed column in typed Dataset.select API
                 Key: SPARK-30983
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30983
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: L. C. Hsieh


Because Dataset only provides overloading typed select API to at most 5 typed columns, once more than 5 typed columns given, the select API call will go for untyped one.

Currently users cannot call typed select with more than 5 typed columns. There are few options:

1. Expose Dataset.selectUntyped (could rename it) to accept any number (due to the limit of ExpressionEncoder.tuple, at most 22 actually) of typed columns. Pros: not need to add too much code in Dataset. Cons: The returned type is generally Dataset[_], not a specified one like Dataset[(U1, U2)] for the overloading method.

2. Add more overloading typed select APIs up to 22 typed column inputs. Pros: Clear returned type. Cons: A lot of code to be added to Dataset for just corner cases.
