Amos created SPARK-10183:
----------------------------
Summary: Expose the backend api
Key: SPARK-10183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10183
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Amos
The Backend class is currently scoped to the api.r package. I'm accessing it,
for the Zeppelin project, so I can start SparkR against an already-running
spark context. To do this I've had to create a helper class withing api.r. It
would be better if the backend were exposed. It isn't a tremendous amount of
functionality - create a backend, start it, stop it.
(If we want to be really clever, it could also be passed a spark context and
make that available to R clients, facilitate passing rdd's back and forth, etc.
I'll be pushing code that does some of that to Zeppelin in a day or two if that
helps.)
