> It is possible to create a Row that has fields with the same name when calling `collect()` after a join. Given that the Row constructor itself doesn't allow this, this seems to be undesired behavior.
> This can possibly cause correctness issues because different ways of getting values produce different results: {{__get_item__}} will return the leftmost value, while {{asDict()}} will return the rightmost value (because the former uses an index search and the latter uses a dictionary generator).
> {{>>> manual_output_row = Row(a=1, b=1, b=2)}}
>  \{{ File "<stdin>", line 1}}
>  {{SyntaxError: keyword argument repeated}}
> {{>>> input_rows = Row(a=1, b=1), Row(a=1, b=2)}}
>  {{>>> df1, df2 = (spark.createDataFrame([r]) for r in input_rows)}}
>  {{>>> df3 = df1.join(df2, "a")}}
>  {{>>> output_row = df3.collect()[0]}}
>  {{>>> output_row}}
>  {{Row(a=1, b=1, b=2)}}
>  {{>>> output_row["b"]}}
>  {{1}}
>  {{>>> output_row.asDict()["b"]}}
>  {{2}}
