Add missing DataFrame methods (window, unnest_columns_with_options, drop_columns) #1456

Description

@timsaucer

Summary

A few additional DataFrame methods from upstream DataFusion v53 are not yet exposed in datafusion-python.

Missing Methods

  • window — apply window function expressions to the DataFrame
  • unnest_columns_with_options — unnest array/struct columns with configurable options (e.g., recursion depth, preserve_nulls)
  • drop_columns — drop columns by name (the existing drop method may not fully match upstream semantics)

Upstream Reference

Implementation

  • Rust bindings: crates/core/src/dataframe.rs
  • Python wrappers: python/datafusion/dataframe.py

Note: This gap analysis was performed using an AI agent comparing upstream DataFusion v53 documentation against the current datafusion-python codebase.
