+### Applying User-defined Function
+
+#### dapply
+Apply a function to each partition of `SparkDataFrame`. The function to be
applied to each partition of the `SparkDataFrame` and should have only one
parameter, to which a `data.frame` corresponds to each partition will be
passed. The output of function should be a `data.frame`.

+# Convert waiting time from hours to seconds.
+# Note that we can apply UDF to DataFrame.

+df1 <- dapply(df, function(x) {x}, schema(df))
+head(collect(df1), 3)
+## eruptions waiting waiting_secs
+##1 3.600 79 4740
+##2 1.800 54 3240
+##3 3.333 74 4440
+
+{% endhighlight %}
+</div>
+
+#### dapplyCollect
+Like `dapply`, apply a function to each partition of `SparkDataFrame` and
collect the result back.
+<div data-lang="r" markdown="1">
+{% highlight r %}
+
+# Convert waiting time from hours to seconds.
+# Note that we can apply UDF to DataFrame.
+ldf <- dapplyCollect(
+ df,
+ function(x) {
+ x <- cbind(x, "waiting_secs"=x$waiting * 60)
+ })
+head(df, 3)

Would be good to show how `head(Ldf)` looks here. Also we should note that
the difference in dapplyCollect is that the schema doesn't need to be passed in
by the user
