> Some discussion in Spark-Avro [1] motivates additions and minor changes to the {{Objects}} Expressions API [2]. The proposed changes include
> * a generalized form of {{initializeJavaBean}} taking a sequence of initialization expressions that can be applied to instances of varying objects
> * an object cast that performs a simple Java type cast against a value
> * making {{ExternalMapToCatalyst}} public, for use in outside libraries
> These changes would facilitate the writing of custom encoders for varying objects that cannot already be readily converted to a statically typed dataset by a JavaBean encoder (e.g. Avro).
