A column in a Dataset: a lazily-evaluated reference to a column or a computation over columns. Columns are immutable; operators and methods return new Columns.
Build columns with functions.col, functions.lit, by indexing a DataFrame (df("id")), or by combining other columns with operators.
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
(col("age") + 1).as("next_age")
col("name").like("a%") && (col("age") >= 18)

Attributes
Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.
Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.
Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:
- It is reflexive: for any instance
xof typeAny,x.equals(x)should returntrue. - It is symmetric: for any instances
xandyof typeAny,x.equals(y)should returntrueif and only ify.equals(x)returnstrue. - It is transitive: for any instances
x,y, andzof typeAnyifx.equals(y)returnstrueandy.equals(z)returnstrue, thenx.equals(z)should returntrue.
If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Any
Calculates a hash code value for the object.
Calculates a hash code value for the object.
The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.
Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.
