    A :class:`DataFrame` is equivalent to a relational table in Spark SQL,

    Once created, it can be manipulated using the various domain-specific-language

    To select a column from the data frame, use the apply method::

    through its various functions::

        # The following creates a new column that increases everybody's age by 10.
        people.age + 10


    A more concrete example::

        # To create DataFrame using SQLContext
        people = sqlContext.parquetFile("...")
        department = sqlContext.parquetFile("...")

        people.filter(people.age > 30).join(department, people.deptId == department.id)) \
