+The entry point into all functionality in Spark is the
[`SparkSession`](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession) class.
To create a basic `SparkSession`, just use `SparkSession.builder()`:
+
+{% include_example init_session

+The entry point into all functionality in Spark is the
[`SparkSession`](api/R/sparkR.session.html) class. To initialize a basic
`SparkSession`, just call `sparkR.session()`:
+
+{% include_example init_session r/RSparkSQLExample.R %}
+
+Note that when invoked for the first time, `sparkR.session()` initializes
a global `SparkSession` singleton instance, and always returns a reference to
this instance for successive invocations. In this way, users only need to
initialize the `SparkSession` once, then SparkR functions like `read.df` will
be able to access this global instance implicitly, and users don't need to pass
the `SparkSession` instance around.

+
+`SparkSession` in Spark 2.0 provides builtin support for Hive features
including the ability to
+write queries using HiveQL, access to Hive UDFs, and the ability to read
data from Hive tables.
+To use these features, you do not need to have an existing Hive setup.
+
+## Creating DataFrames
+
+<div class="codetabs">
+<div data-lang="scala" markdown="1">
+With a `SparkSession`, applications can create DataFrames from an
[existing `RDD`](#interoperating-with-rdds),
+from a Hive table, or from [Spark data sources](#data-sources).

The link `[Spark data sources](#data-sources)` does not work after this
change. Could you fix all the similar cases? Thanks!
