                 Key: SPARK-2315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2315

          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Spark Core
            Reporter: Erik Erlandson


Last time I loaded in a text file, I found myself wanting to just skip the 
first element as it was a header.     I wrote candidate methods drop, dropRight 
and dropWhile to satisfy this kind of need:

val txt = sc.textFile("text_with_header.txt")
val data = txt.drop(1)
