R: Manage Spark Connections

spark-connections {sparklyr} | R Documentation

## Manage Spark Connections

### Description

These routines allow you to manage your connections to Spark.

### Usage

    spark_connect(master = "local", spark_home = Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"),
      method = c("shell", "livy", "databricks", "test"), app_name = "sparklyr",
      version = NULL, hadoop_version = NULL, config = spark_config(),
      extensions = sparklyr::registered_extensions(), ...)

    spark_connection_is_open(sc)

    spark_disconnect(sc, ...)

    spark_disconnect_all()

### Arguments

`master` | Spark cluster url to connect to. Use `"local"` to connect to a local instance of Spark installed via `spark_install`.
`spark_home` | The path to a Spark installation. Defaults to the path provided by the `SPARK_HOME` environment variable. If `SPARK_HOME` is defined, it will be always be used unless the `version` parameter is specified to force the use of a locally installed version.
`method` | The method used to connect to Spark. Currently, only `"shell"` is supported.
`app_name` | The application name to be used while running in the Spark cluster.
`version` | The version of Spark to use. Only applicable to `"local"` Spark connections.
`hadoop_version` | The version of Hadoop to use. Only applicable to `"local"` Spark connections.
`config` | Custom configuration for the generated Spark connection. See `spark_config` for details.
`extensions` | Extension packages to enable for this connection. By default, all packages enabled through the use of `sparklyr::register_extension` will be passed here.
`...` | Optional arguments; currently unused.
`sc` | A `spark_connection`.

### Examples

    sc <- spark_connect(master = "spark://HOST:PORT")
    connection_is_open(sc)

    spark_disconnect(sc)
