As a follow up, I did look into this and found the R base `read.csv` to be too generic {code} read.csv(file, header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote = "\"", dec = ".", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", ...) {code} I was not sure if there was a way to implement this in SparkR without masking the base version. Perhaps if we would starting prefixing SparkR methods with `spark.` or `sparkR.` (as being done in some specific cases) > Add API and options for csv data sources > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-13174 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13174 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Input/Output > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Davies Liu > > We should have a API to load csv data source (with some options as > arguments), similar to json() and jdbc() -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
