             Summary: Improve the implementation of collect() on DataFrame in 
SparkR
                 Key: SPARK-10047
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10047
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SparkR
            Reporter: Sun Rui


currently in SparkR, collect() on a DataFrame collects the data within the 
DataFrame into a local data.frame. R users are used to using data.frame.

However, collect() currently can't collect data of nested types from a 
DataFrame because:
1. The serializer in JVM backend does not support nested types;
2. collect() in R side assumes each column is of simple atomic type that can be 
combinded into a atomic vector
