             Summary: SparkR does not provide an easy way to depend on Spark Packages when performing init from inside of R
                 Key: SPARK-8506
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8506
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SparkR
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: holdenk
            Priority: Minor


While packages can be specified when using the sparkR or sparkSubmit scripts, the programming guide tells people to create their spark context using the R shell + init. The init does have a parameter for jars but no parameter for packages. Setting the SPARKR_SUBMIT_ARGS overwrites some necessary information. I think a good solution would just be adding another field to the init function to allow people to specify packages in the same way as jars.
