:)
Just realized you didn't get your original question answered though:
scala> import sqlContext.implicits._
import sqlContext.implicits._
scala> case class Person(age: Long, name: String)
defined class Person
scala> val df = Seq(Person(24, "pedro"), Person(22, "fritz")).toDF()
df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [age: bigint, name: string]
scala> df.select("age")
res2: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [age: bigint]
scala> df.select("age").collect.map(_.getLong(0))
res3: Array[Long] = Array(24, 22)
scala> import org.apache.spark.sql.Row
import org.apache.spark.sql.Row
scala> df.collect.flatMap {
| case Row(age: Long, name: String) => Seq(Tuple1(age))
| case _ => Seq()
| }
res7: Array[(Long,)] = Array((24,), (22,))
These docs are helpful
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.Row
(1.6 docs, but should be similar in 2.0)
