Thanks! In your demo video, were you using RStudio to hit a separate EC2 Spark cluster? I noticed that it appeared your browser that you were using EC2 at that time, so I was just curious. It appears that might be one of the possible workarounds - fire up a separate EC2 instance with RStudio Server that initializes the spark context against a separate Spark cluster.
