Github user olarayej commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/11336 @felixcheung When a user types a variable name on the R shell, it triggers method showDefault() which, in turn, invokes show(). I wrote an implementation of show() for Column which, in turn, invokes head() (not collect), showing the first 20 elements of the dataset. This mimics R behavior and I think it also helps with usability. However, if the agreement is not to have that, I can just remove show method.
