+### Eager execution
+
+If the eager execution is enabled, the data will be returned to R client
immediately when the `SparkDataFrame` is created. Eager execution can be
enabled by setting the configuration property
`spark.sql.repl.eagerEval.enabled` to `true` when the `SparkSession` is started
up.

+Note that the `SparkSession` created by `sparkR` shell does not have eager
execution enabled. You can stop the current session and start up a new session
like above to enable.

Changed to this:
```
Note that to enable eager execution through `sparkR` command, add
`spark.sql.repl.eagerEval.enabled=true` configuration property to the `--conf`
option.
```
