SparkR is now available on CRAN

[Shivaram Venkataraman <sh...@eecs.berkeley.edu>]

Hi all

I'm happy to announce that the most recent release of Spark, 2.1.2 is now
available for download as an R package from CRAN at
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SparkR/ . This makes it easy to get
started with SparkR for new R users and the package includes code to
download the corresponding Spark binaries.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15799 has more details on this.

Many thanks to everyone who helped put this together -- especially Felix
Cheung for making a number of fixes to meet the CRAN requirements and
Holden Karau for the 2.1.2 release.

Thanks
Shivaram

That's wonderful news! :) Now we have Spark in CRAN, PyPi, and maven so the
on-rap should be easy for every one. Excited to see more SparkR users
joining us :)
