> SparkR DataFrame can be subset to get one or more columns of the dataset. The current '[' implementation does not support 'drop' when is asked for just one column. This is not consistent with the R syntax:
> x[i, j, ... , drop = TRUE]
> # in R, when drop is FALSE, remain as data.frame
> > class(iris[, "Sepal.Width", drop=F])
> [1] "data.frame"
> # when drop is TRUE (default), drop to be a vector
> > class(iris[, "Sepal.Width", drop=T])
> [1] "numeric"
> > class(iris[,"Sepal.Width"])
> [1] "numeric"
> > df <- createDataFrame(sqlContext, iris)
> # in SparkR, 'drop' argument has no impact
> > class(df[,"Sepal_Width", drop=F])
> [1] "DataFrame"
> attr(,"package")
> [1] "SparkR"
> # should have dropped to be a Column class instead
> > class(df[,"Sepal_Width", drop=T])
> [1] "DataFrame"
> attr(,"package")
> [1] "SparkR"
> > class(df[,"Sepal_Width"])
> [1] "DataFrame"
> attr(,"package")
> [1] "SparkR"
> We should add the 'drop' support.
