                 SparkR

> Integrate SparkR into Apache Spark
> ----------------------------------

>                 Key: SPARK-5654
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5654
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: SparkR
>            Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman

> The SparkR project [1] provides a light-weight frontend to launch Spark jobs 
> from R. The project was started at the AMPLab around a year ago and has been 
> incubated as its own project to make sure it can be easily merged into 
> upstream Spark, i.e. not introduce any external dependencies etc. SparkR’s 
> goals are similar to PySpark and shares a similar design pattern as described 
> in our meetup talk[2], Spark Summit presentation[3].
> Integrating SparkR into the Apache project will enable R users to use Spark 
> out of the box and given R’s large user base, it will help the Spark project 
> reach more users.  Additionally, work in progress features like providing R 
> integration with ML Pipelines and Dataframes can be better achieved by 
> development in a unified code base.
> SparkR is available under the Apache 2.0 License and does not have any 
> external dependencies other than requiring users to have R and Java installed 
> on their machines.  SparkR’s developers come from many organizations 
> including UC Berkeley, Alteryx, Intel and we will support future development, 
> maintenance after the integration.
