Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-26433:
--------------------------------------
There are few potential workarounds. For instnace,
http://www.swi.com/spark-rdd-getting-bottom-records/ or
{{df.sort($"ColumnName".desc).show()}}.
BTW, usually tail or head are used in Scala as below (IMHO):
{code}
scala> Seq(1, 2, 3).tail
res10: Seq[Int] = List(2, 3)
scala> Seq(1, 2, 3).head
res11: Int = 1
{code}
> Tail method for spark DataFrame
