Shivaram Venkataraman commented on SPARK-16578:
-----------------------------------------------
[~zjffdu] The main goal I had for this ticket was to enable running the R
frontend in a different machine (say a user's laptop) while running the
SparkContext JVM on a different machine (say on a cluster). It will be
interesting to see if we can support more of the use cases used by downstream
projects like zeppelin / livy etc.
I thinkj [~junyangq] has been doing some work on this and gives us some more
details on the changes.

> Key: SPARK-16578
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16578
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SparkR
> Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman
>
> One of the requirements that comes up with SparkR being a standalone package
> is that users can now install just the R package on the client side and
> connect to a remote machine which runs the RBackend class.
> We should check if we can support this mode of execution and what are the
> pros / cons of it
