> There was a lot of discussion on SPARK-9325. To summarize the conversation on that ticket regardign {{collect}}
> * Pro: Ease of use and maximum compatibility with existing R API
> * Con: We do not want to increase maintenance cost by opening arbitrary API. With Spark's DataFrame API {{collect}} does not work on {{Column}} and there is no need for it to work in R.
> This ticket is strictly about {{head}}. I propose supporting {{head}} on {{Column}} because:
> 1. R users are already used to calling {{head(iris$Sepal.Length)}}. When they do that on SparkDataFrame they get an error. Not a good experience
> 2. Adding support for it does not require any change to the backend. It can be trivially done in R code.
