Jeff Zhang commented on SPARK-16578:
------------------------------------

I think one purpose of this ticket is to share the same SparkContext across 
language. The SparkContext in one jvm can be used by both R and Scala.  
Zeppelin/Livy has implemented this by modifying the shell.R when launching R 
process.  Is there any design doc for this now ? I think this would benefit the 
downstream project (zeppelin/livy) although they have implemented their own 
approach.

> One of the requirements that comes up with SparkR being a standalone package 
> is that users can now install just the R package on the client side and 
> connect to a remote machine which runs the RBackend class.
> We should check if we can support this mode of execution and what are the 
> pros / cons of it
