             Summary: Add non-numerical summaries to DataFrame.describe
                 Key: SPARK-13336
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13336
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Ian Hellstrom
            Priority: Minor


The DataFrame.describe method currently only returns statistics for numerical 
columns. It would be nice to see generic information that is non-statistical in 
nature yet often important to see, especially when assessing the quality of 
data: 
* MIN/MAX for any column, not just numerical ones
* (approximate) DISTINCT COUNT (or percentage of all rows or sample)
* (approximate) NULL COUNT (or percentage of all rows or sample)
* (approximate) MODE (i.e. most common value of all rows or sample)
