>  https://github.com/zero323/pyspark-stubs demonstrates a lot of benefits to improve usability in PySpark by leveraging Python type hints.
> By having the type hints in PySpark we can, for example:
> - automatically document the input and output types
> - leverage IDE for error detection and auto-completion
> - have a cleaner definition and easier to understand.
> This JIRA is an umbrella JIRA that targets to port https://github.com/zero323/pyspark-stubs and related items to smoothly run within PySpark.
