as.data.frame {SparkR}

R Documentation

Download data from a SparkDataFrame into a R data.frame

Description

This function downloads the contents of a SparkDataFrame into an R's data.frame. Since data.frames are held in memory, ensure that you have enough memory in your system to accommodate the contents.

Usage

as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL, optional = FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame'
as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL,
  optional = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`x`	a SparkDataFrame.
`row.names`	`NULL` or a character vector giving the row names for the data frame.
`optional`	If `TRUE`, converting column names is optional.
`...`	additional arguments to pass to base::as.data.frame.

Value

A data.frame.

Note

as.data.frame since 1.6.0
