> It would be handy to have easy ways to construct random columns for DataFrames.  Proposed API:
> {code}
> class SQLContext {
>   // Return a DataFrame with a single column named "id" that has consecutive value from 0 to n.
>   def range(n: Long): DataFrame
>   def range(n: Long, numPartitions: Int): DataFrame
> }
> {code}
> Usage:
> {code}
> // uniform distribution
> ctx.range(1000).select(rand())
> // normal distribution
> ctx.range(1000).select(randn())
> {code}
> We should add an RangeIterator that supports long start/stop position, and then use it to create an RDD as the basis for this DataFrame.
