read.df {SparkR}R Documentation

Load a SparkDataFrame

Description

Returns the dataset in a data source as a SparkDataFrame

Usage

## Default S3 method:
read.df(path = NULL, source = NULL, schema = NULL,
  na.strings = "NA", ...)

## Default S3 method:
loadDF(path = NULL, source = NULL, schema = NULL,
  ...)

Arguments

path

The path of files to load

source

The name of external data source

schema

The data schema defined in structType or a DDL-formatted string.

na.strings

Default string value for NA when source is "csv"

...

additional external data source specific named properties.

Details

The data source is specified by the source and a set of options(...). If source is not specified, the default data source configured by "spark.sql.sources.default" will be used.
Similar to R read.csv, when source is "csv", by default, a value of "NA" will be interpreted as NA.
