[jira] [Commented] (SYSTEMML-906) Use of `df.first` in MLContextUtil is a Bottleneck

["Deron Eriksson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-906?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15484613#comment-15484613 ] 

Deron Eriksson commented on SYSTEMML-906:
-----------------------------------------

An potential issue with using the schema is that if a value in a dataframe is a double but is represented as a DataTypes.StringType, then it won't be recognized correctly.

Is there a dataframe method that can grab any row rather than the first row that doesn't cause a bottleneck?

> The use of {{dataframe.first()}} at {{MLContextUtil.java:497}} causes a severe bottleneck if the input DataFrame is a lazy result of a compute-intensive chain.  We should change this to use {{dataframe.schema}}, and then iterate over the types in the schema.
