| histogram {SparkR} | R Documentation | 
This function computes a histogram for a given SparkR Column.
## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,characterOrColumn' histogram(df, col, nbins = 10)
| df | the SparkDataFrame containing the Column to build the histogram from. | 
| nbins | the number of bins (optional). Default value is 10. | 
| colname | the name of the column to build the histogram from. | 
a data.frame with the histogram statistics, i.e., counts and centroids.
