| x | a Column or a SparkDataFrame. | 
| ... | additional argument(s). If  | 
| col1 | the first Column. |

| colName1 | the name of the first column | 
| colName2 | the name of the second column | 
cov: Compute the sample covariance between two expressions.
covar_sample: Alias for cov.
covar_pop: Computes the population covariance between two expressions.
cov: When applied to SparkDataFrame, this calculates the sample covariance of two
numerical columns of one SparkDataFrame.
The covariance of the two columns.
