 this as a stack overflow question but it seems to be a bug.

If I have an R data.frame where one of the column data types is an integer 
*list* -- i.e., each of the elements in the column embeds an entire R list of 
integers -- then it seems I can convert this data.frame to a SparkR DataFrame 
just fine... SparkR treats the column as ArrayType(Double). 

However, any subsequent operation on this SparkR DataFrame appears to throw an 
error.

Create an example R data.frame:
{code}
indices <- 1:4
myDf <- data.frame(indices)
myDf$data <- list(rep(0, 20))}}
{code}

Examine it to make sure it looks okay:
{code}
> str(myDf) 
'data.frame':   4 obs. of  2 variables:  
 $ indices: int  1 2 3 4  
 $ data   :List of 4
   ..$ : num  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
   ..$ : num  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
   ..$ : num  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
   ..$ : num  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...

> head(myDf)   
  indices                                                       data 
1       1 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 
2       2 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 
3       3 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 
4       4 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
{code}

Convert it to a SparkR DataFrame:
{code}
library(SparkR, lib.loc=paste0(Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"),"/R/lib"))
sparkR.session(master = "local[*]")
mySparkDf <- as.DataFrame(myDf)
{code}

Examine the SparkR DataFrame schema; notice the list column was successfully 
converted to ArrayType:
{code}
> schema(mySparkDf)
StructType
|-name = "indices", type = "IntegerType", nullable = TRUE
|-name = "data", type = "ArrayType(DoubleType,true)", nullable = TRUE
{code}

However, operating on the SparkR DataFrame throws an error:
{code}
> collect(mySparkDf)
17/07/13 17:23:00 ERROR executor.Executor: Exception in task 0.0 in stage 1.0 
(TID 1)
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while encoding: java.lang.RuntimeException:

if (assertnotnull(input[0, org.apache.spark.sql.Row, true]).isNullAt) null 
else validateexternaltype(getexternalrowfield(assertnotnull(input[0, 
org.apache.spark.sql.Row, true]), 0, indices), IntegerType) AS indices#0
... long stack trace ...
{code}

Using Spark 2.2.0, R 3.4.0, Java 1.8.0_131, Windows 10.
