--------------------------------------
Hi [~holdenk], could we resolve this given the discussion in the PR?
> PySpark can create dataframe from a Python generator
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-17360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17360
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Semet
> Priority: Trivial
>
> 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
