[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-10731) The head() implementation of dataframe is very slow

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10731?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14901092#comment-14901092 ] 

Yin Huai commented on SPARK-10731:
----------------------------------

Looks like the problem is df.collect does not work well with limit. In Scala, {{df.limit(1).rdd.count()}} will also trigger the problem.

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.1, 1.5.0

> df=sqlContext.read.parquet("someparquetfiles")
> df.head()
> The above lines take over 15 minutes. It seems the dataframe requires 3 stages to return the first row. It reads all data (which is about 1 billion rows) and run Limit twice. The take(1) implementation in the RDD performs much better.
