Dongjoon Hyun resolved SPARK-16467.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

> After importing R data.frame, although DataFrame columns show . replaced by 
> _,  the describe() function gives warnings on . in the name

>                 Key: SPARK-16467
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16467
>             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.
