Thanks for this wonderful library it helps to access all the salesforce objects in our project. Raising the below issue to bring to your notice that the jar in the maven repository is not the latest.
"maxCharsPerColumn" option is not working as expected in the latest 1.1.4 version of the jar seen in https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.springml/spark-salesforce.
Any value set for the option: "maxCharsPerColumn" is being ignored. I tested the option by entering a boolean value and expected the Databricks job to throw the conversion exception and fail. The job completed successfully without any exception.
Please upload the latest jar to the mvnrepository
