Hi dev list,
SparkR backend assumes SparkR source files are located under
"SPARK_HOME/R/lib/." This directory is created by running R/install-dev.sh.
This setting makes sense for Spark developers, but if an R user downloads
and installs SparkR source package, the source files are going to be in
placed different locations.
In the R runtime it is easy to find location of package files using
path.package("SparkR"). But we need to make some changes to R backend
and/or spark-submit so that, JVM process learns the location of worker.R
and daemon.R and shell.R from the R runtime.
Do you think this change is feasible?
Thanks,
