    Description

      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.

      It was also discussed in the dev mailing list: http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/Re-PySpark-Revisiting-PySpark-type-annotations-td26232.html
