Issue #, if available: N/A

Description of changes:
We're facing slowness while running the ColumnProfiler on large datasets. According to the PySpark's doc, using withColumn for multiple times, like in a for-loop, can cause performance issues. select() is suggested here to replace the multiple withColumn() call.
