      A distributed collection of data grouped into named columns.
    - L{Column}
      A column expression in a :class:`DataFrame`.
    - L{Row}
      A row of data in a :class:`DataFrame`.
    - L{HiveContext}
      Main entry point for accessing data stored in Apache Hive.
    - L{GroupedData}
      Aggregation methods, returned by :func:`DataFrame.groupBy`.
    - L{DataFrameNaFunctions}
      Methods for handling missing data (null values).
    - L{functions}
      List of built-in functions available for :class:`DataFrame`.
