> It looks like one can create a dataframe from a Python generator, which might be more efficient that by creating the list of row and use createDataframe:
> {code}
> >>> # On Python 3, you want to use "range" on the following line
> >>> d = ({'name': 'Alice-{}'.format(i), 'age': i} for i in xrange(0, 10000000))
> >>> d  # Please note that 'd' is a generator and not a structure with the 10000000 elements.
> <generator object <genexpr> at 0x7f1234b92af0>
> >>> sqlContext.createDataFrame(d).take(5)
> [Row(age=1, name=u'Alice-1')]
> [Row(age=2, name=u'Alice-2')]
> [Row(age=3, name=u'Alice-3')]
> [Row(age=4, name=u'Alice-4')]
> [Row(age=5, name=u'Alice-5')]
> {code}
> Looking at the code, there is nothing important to change in the code, only doc and unit tests
