Integrating Posit Workbench with Spark and sparklyr

sparklyr is an R interface for Apache Spark that allows you to install and connect to Spark, filter and aggregate datasets using dplyr syntax against Spark, then bring them into R for analysis and visualization.

You can install Posit Workbench, formerly RStudio Workbench[^1], within a Spark/Hadoop cluster and use sparklyr from R sessions.

The following articles describe how to integrate Workbench with a Spark cluster in different configurations:

• Using sparklyr with Cloudera CDH
• Using sparklyr with Amazon EMR
• Deployment and configuration options
