----------------------------------------------------------------

we could, but we did ship 2.0 with it enabled by default though.
perhaps
{code}
sparkR.session <- function(
  master = "",
  appName = "SparkR",
  sparkHome = Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"),
  sparkConfig = list(),
  sparkJars = "",
  sparkPackages = "",
-  enableHiveSupport = TRUE,
+ enableHiveSupport = !interactive()
  ...) {

{code}
as default?


shouldn't derby.log and metastore_db go to the warehouse.dir?

> - Packages should not write in the users’ home filespace, nor anywhere else on the file system apart from the R session’s temporary directory (or during installation in the location pointed to by TMPDIR: and such usage should be cleaned up). Installing into the system’s R installation (e.g., scripts to its bin directory) is not allowed.
> Limited exceptions may be allowed in interactive sessions if the package obtains confirmation from the user.
> - Packages should not modify the global environment (user’s workspace).
> {quote}
> Currently "spark-warehouse" gets created in the working directory when sparkR.session() is called.
