问题
I checked for sparkR package in CRAN package list through the following link.
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/available_packages_by_date.html
This list does not include sparkR, and therefore installing sparkR through install.packages("package_name") cannot be done.
Why isn't sparkR listed in the package list?
回答1:
Since Spark 1.4, SparkR is not a separate package anymore but has been integrated with Apache Spark. So I guess it doesn't make sense anymore to create a CRAN R package for it.
