read.df {SparkR}

R Documentation

Load a SparkDataFrame

Description

Returns the dataset in a data source as a SparkDataFrame

Usage

read.df(path = NULL, source = NULL, schema = NULL, na.strings = "NA", ...)

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.

Value

SparkDataFrame
