| sparkR.session {SparkR} | R Documentation | 
SparkSession is the entry point into SparkR. sparkR.session gets the existing
SparkSession or initializes a new SparkSession.
Additional Spark properties can be set in ..., and these named parameters take priority
over values in master, appName, named lists of sparkConfig.
sparkR.session(master = "", appName = "SparkR",
  sparkHome = Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"), sparkConfig = list(),
  sparkJars = "", sparkPackages = "", enableHiveSupport = TRUE, ...)
| master | the Spark master URL. | 
| appName | application name to register with cluster manager. | 
| sparkHome | Spark Home directory. | 
| sparkConfig | named list of Spark configuration to set on worker nodes. | 
| sparkJars | character vector of jar files to pass to the worker nodes. | 
| sparkPackages | character vector of package coordinates | 
| enableHiveSupport | enable support for Hive, fallback if not built with Hive support; once set, this cannot be turned off on an existing session | 
| ... | named Spark properties passed to the method. | 
For details on how to initialize and use SparkR, refer to SparkR programming guide at http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sparkr.html#starting-up-sparksession.
