[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-4561) PySparkSQL's Row.asDict() should convert nested rows to dictionaries

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4561?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Josh Rosen updated SPARK-4561:
------------------------------
    Description: 
In PySpark, you can call {{.asDict
()}} on a SparkSQL {{Row}} to convert it to a dictionary.  Unfortunately, though, this does not convert nested rows to dictionaries.  For example:

{code}
>>> sqlContext.sql("select results from results").first()
Row(results=[Row(time=3.762), Row(time=3.47), Row(time=3.559), Row(time=3.458), Row(time=3.229), Row(time=3.21), Row(time=3.166), Row(time=3.276), Row(time=3.239), Row(time=3.149)])
>>> sqlContext.sql("select results from results").first().asDict()
{u'results': [(3.762,),
  (3.47,),
  (3.559,),
  (3.458,),
  (3.229,),
  (3.21,),
  (3.166,),
  (3.276,),
  (3.239,),
  (3.149,)]}
{code}


Actually, it looks like the nested fields are just left as Rows (IPython's fancy display logic obscured this in my first example):

{code}
>>> Row(results=[Row(time=1), Row(time=2)]).asDict()
{'results': [Row(time=1), Row(time=2)]}
{code}

I ran into this issue when trying to use Pandas dataframes to display nested data that I queried from Spark SQL.
