+.. spark:function:: split(string, delimiter[, limit]) -> array(string)
+    Splits ``string`` around occurrences that match ``delimiter`` and returns an array 
+    with a length of at most ``limit``. ``delimiter`` is a string representing a regular 
+    expression. ``limit`` is an integer which controls the number of times the regex is 
+    applied. By default, ``limit`` is -1. When ``limit`` > 0, the resulting array's 
+    length will not be more than ``limit``, and the resulting array's last entry will 
+    contain all input beyond the last matched regex. When ``limit`` <= 0, ``regex`` will 
+    be applied as many times as possible, and the resulting array can be of any size. ::
