[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-17902) collect() ignores stringsAsFactors

["Hyukjin Kwon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17902?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16208685#comment-16208685 ] 

Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-17902:
--------------------------------------

Hi [~falaki] and [~shivaram], I was thinking a just simple way such as :

{quote}
if (stringsAsFactors) {
  df[sapply(df, is.character)] <- lapply(df[sapply(df, is.character)], as.factor)
}
{quote}

Would it make sense?

> `collect()` function signature includes an optional flag named `stringsAsFactors`. It seems it is completely ignored.
> {code}
> str(collect(createDataFrame(iris), stringsAsFactors = TRUE)))
> {code}
