-----------------------------
Component/s: (was: Project Infra)
SparkR
> Integrate SparkR into Apache Spark
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-5654
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5654
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SparkR
> Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman
>
> The SparkR project [1] provides a light-weight frontend to launch Spark jobs
> from R. The project was started at the AMPLab around a year ago and has been
> incubated as its own project to make sure it can be easily merged into
> upstream Spark, i.e. not introduce any external dependencies etc. SparkR’s
> goals are similar to PySpark and shares a similar design pattern as described
> in our meetup talk[2], Spark Summit presentation[3].
> Integrating SparkR into the Apache project will enable R users to use Spark
> out of the box and given R’s large user base, it will help the Spark project
> reach more users. Additionally, work in progress features like providing R
> integration with ML Pipelines and Dataframes can be better achieved by
> development in a unified code base.
> SparkR is available under the Apache 2.0 License and does not have any
> external dependencies other than requiring users to have R and Java installed
> on their machines. SparkR’s developers come from many organizations
> including UC Berkeley, Alteryx, Intel and we will support future development,
> maintenance after the integration.
