-------------------------------------------------------------------
I now have a more elegant way to get any R shell connected to spark. If you
have run the spark submit:
```
/root/spark/sbin/stop-all.sh
/root/spark/sbin/start-all.sh
```
then this snippet will collect all data you need automatically (the tutorial
had manual labor involved)
```
region_ip <- system("curl
http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname";, intern=TRUE)
spark_link <- paste0('spark://', region_ip, ':7077')
.libPaths(c(.libPaths(), '/root/spark/R/lib'))
Sys.setenv(SPARK_HOME = '/root/spark')
Sys.setenv(PATH = paste(Sys.getenv(c("PATH")), '/root/spark/bin', sep=':'))
library(SparkR)
sc <- sparkR.init(spark_link)
sqlContext <- sparkRSQL.init(sc)
```
This snippet can be made part of the '.Rprofile', which will allow any user of
Rstudio to automatically be connected to Spark. This will only work if
`/root/spark/sbin/start-all.sh` is run. Do we want this? Possible downside
might be that errors will be thrown in the R user doesn't understand that
`stat-all.sh` needs to be run first.
**edit**
My current branch does this. After connecting to spark, the terminal now shows
this as well:
```
____ __
/ __/__ ___ _____/ /__
_\ \/ _ \/ _ `/ __/ _/
/__ / .__/\_,_/_/ /_/\_ version 1.4.0
/_/
Spark Context available as "sc".
Spark SQL Context available as "sqlContext".
During startup - Warning message:
package ‘SparkR’ was built under R version 3.1.3
```
It doesnt yet work in Rstudio but it can be provided as a startup script.
