             Summary: Long type has incorrect serialization/deserialization
                 Key: SPARK-17608
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17608
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SparkR
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Thomas Powell


Am hitting issues when using {{dapply}} on a data frame that contains a {{bigint}} in its schema. When this is converted to a SparkR data frame a "bigint" gets converted to a R {{numeric}} type: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/R/pkg/R/types.R#L25.

However, the R {{numeric}} type gets converted to {{org.apache.spark.sql.types.DoubleType}}: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/api/r/SQLUtils.scala#L97.

The two directions therefore aren't compatible. If I use the same schema when using dapply (and just an identity function) I will get type collisions because the output type is a double but the schema expects a bigint.
