[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-16467) After importing R data.frame, although DataFrame columns show . replaced by _, the describe() function gives warnings on . in the name

---------------------------------------

Hi, you missed `"` in the last command. :)
{code}
> collect(describe(sdfIris, "Species"))
  summary   Species
1   count       150
2    mean      <NA>
3  stddev      <NA>
4     min    setosa
5     max virginica

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SparkR
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
>            Reporter: Neil Dewar
>            Priority: Minor

> When importing an R data.frame into a Spark DataFrame using createDataFrame(), if the R data.frame column names contain period characters "." they are converted to underscores "_".    Most SparkR functions then display the column names with the underscores.  
> If the describe() function is used, with the option for a specific function name, warning messages are displayed about the use of period characters.
> Example:
> sdfIris <- createDataFrame(sqlContext, iris)
> str(sdfIris) # works fine
> collect(describe(sdfIris, Species))
> the last function above throws a string of warnings such as:
> 1: In FUN(X[[i]], ...) :  Use Sepal_Length instead of Sepal.Length  as column name
> Note, the describe() function appears to work ok if no column name is specified but fails if a column name is specified, even if the specified name did not contain a period.
