Hi Daniel, Thanks for your email! We don't have a book (yet?) specifically on SparkR, but here's a list of helpful tutorials / links you can check out (I am listing them in roughly basic -> advanced order):
- AMPCamp5 SparkR exercises <http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/5/exercises/sparkr.html>. This covers the basics of SparkR's API, performs basic analytics, and visualizes the results. - SparkR examples <https://github.com/amplab-extras/SparkR-pkg/tree/master/examples>. We have K-means, logistic regression, MNIST solver, \pi estimation, word count and other examples available. - Running SparkR on EC2 <https://github.com/amplab-extras/SparkR-pkg/wiki/SparkR-Example:-Digit-Recognition-on-EC2>. This entry details the steps to run a SparkR program on an EC2 cluster. Finally, we have a talk at the AMPCamp <http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/5/> today on SparkR, whose video & slides will be available soon on the website -- it covers the basics of the interface & what you can do with it. Additionally, you could direct any SparkR questions to our sparkr-dev <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sparkr-dev> mailing list. Let us know if you have further questions.
