isCached

I'm currently porting some of our code from RDDs to Datasets.

With RDDs it's pretty easy to figure out if they are cached or not.

I notice that the catalog has a function for determining this on Datasets
too, but it's private[sql].  Is there any reason for it not to be public?
Is there any way at the moment to determine if a dataset is cached or not?

Thanks in advance

No unfortunately not - as i recall storageLevel accesses some private
methods to get the result.

Ah, in 2.1.0.

I'm in 2.0.1 at the moment... is there any way that works that far back?

Dataset does have storageLevel. So you can use isCached = (storageLevel !=
StorageLevel.NONE) as a test.

Arguably isCached could be added to dataset too, shouldn't be a
controversial change.
