Return the first row of a SparkDataFrame

Description

Return the first row of a SparkDataFrame

Aggregate function: returns the first value in a group.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame'
first(x)

## S4 method for signature 'characterOrColumn'
first(x, na.rm = FALSE)

first(x, ...)

Arguments

Details

The function by default returns the first values it sees. It will return the first non-missing value it sees when na.rm is set to true. If all values are missing, then NA is returned.

Note

first(SparkDataFrame) since 1.4.0

first(characterOrColumn) since 1.4.0
