R is a powerful language for data science, but on its own it can’t cope with large amounts of big data. sparklyR bridges this gap by connecting R to the hadoop ecosystem using spark via the tidy grammar of dplyR.

Georg Heiler (data scientist at T-Mobile Austria, founder of ‎predictR) talks at Vienna Data Science Group – Knowledgefeed vol. 20.
