lit

fun lit(a: Any): Column

Creates a Column of literal value.

The passed in object is returned directly if it is already a Column. If the object is a Scala Symbol, it is converted into a Column also. Otherwise, a new Column is created to represent the literal value.

This is just a shortcut to the function from org.apache.spark.sql.functions. For all the functions, simply add import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.* to your file.
