             Summary: Rows in python should support conversion to dictionary
                 Key: SPARK-4051
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4051
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Chris Grier


When working with the output of a query against a sqlContext, the result a Row 
object with fields accessible via dot notation rather than something similar to 
a dictionary.

The issue is that there are libraries (such as pandas and ggplot) that do not 
know how to operate on Rows but you can supply field names for the libraries to 
use. When the library attempts to use the row, it expects a data type like a 
dictionary, indexable using brackets and named field i.e. obj["fieldname"].
