    I'm not familiar with SparkR, so please correct me if I'm wrong. IIRC, 
`showDF` is mapped to the Scala method `Dataset.show()`, which executes in the 
JVM, where `NA` isn't available, and we have to use `null` as the only 
reasonable alternative. You may see that the previous `head(df)` call does 
print `NA` instead of `null`.
