-------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm writing a small tutorial to get up to scratch with rstudio on AWS. It 
works. The main issue seems that currently ec2 installs an old version of R 
(3.1) while most packages like ggplot require a new version (3.2). I'm going to 
share the tutorial with the Rstudio guys soon. 

My approach is to run `spark/bin/start-all.sh` on the master node and then run 
the following commands in Rstudio on the master node: 

    .libPaths( c( .libPaths(), '/root/spark/R/lib') )
    Sys.setenv(SPARK_HOME = '/root/spark')
    Sys.setenv(PATH = paste(Sys.getenv(c("PATH")), '/root/spark/bin', sep=':'))
    library(SparkR)
    sc <- sparkR.init('<SPARK MASTER ADR>')
    sqlContext <- sparkRSQL.init(sc)

This works on my end, and I've been able to use the dataframe API with a json 
blob on s3 with this sqlContext. The main issue on my end is that because of 
the old R version I can't install visualisation/knitr packages. The spark 
dataframe works like a charm in the GUI though.
