SparkR preview in Rstudio

Apache Spark is the hip new technology on the block. It allows you to write scripts in a functional style and the technology behind it will allow you to run iterative tasks very quickly on a cluster of machines. It’s benchmarked to be quicker than hadoop for most machine learning use cases (by a factor between 10-100) and soon Spark will also have support for the R language. As of April 2015, SparkR has been merged into Apache Spark and is shipping with a new version in an upcoming release (1.4) due early summer 2015. In the meanwhile, you can use this tutorial to go ahead and get familiar with the current version of SparkR.

**Disclaimer** : although you will be able to use this tutorial to write Spark jobs right now with R, the new api due this summer will most likely have breaking changes.
