Thanks John for the update.  Do I need to do a clone to get the new change?

I think there are two issues here. One is to display df, a row of it, or part of a row, like

julia> df
julia> df[3, 1:20]

The other is to print out (to the terminal or to a file).

On the first issue, I hope DataFrames can adopt a similar behavior of arrays (when the user tries to display an array that is large, julia prints out ... in between the data). This is not only helpful to the user but is also consistent with the overall julia style.

On the second, if an entire df is to be printed to the terminal, perhaps it should opt to print a summary only. If a row is to be printed, it should always print out the data, however many elements.

Yup, this is the behavior that just got removed since we’ve had so many 
complaints.

If your dataframe has 6 or more columns then it prints this summary.  If you 
index less than 6 columns it will print ok.  You can force it to spit it all 
out with showall(df) but that may not be entirely legible.   There may be other 
ways to display it.
