>
> Key: SPARK-7499
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7499
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SparkR
> Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman
> Priority: Major
> Labels: bulk-closed
>
> Right now in SparkR we need to specify the columns used using `$` or strings. For example to run select we would do
> {code}
> df1 <- select(df, df$age > 10)
> {code}
> It would be good to infer the set of columns in a dataframe automatically and resolve symbols for column names. For example
> {code}
> df1 <- select(df, age > 10)
> {code}
> One way to do this is to build an environment with all the column names to column handles and then use `substitute(arg, env = columnNameEnv)`
