Abstract
The R programming language is very popular with many Data Scientists. At the time of writing this article, R ranks as the 11th most popular programming language according to TIOBE.
R provides many compelling data manipulation capabilities enabling the slicing and dicing of data with ease. Often data are read into and written out of R programs using files. However, R can also work with database systems. In this article, we'll see two quick examples of how Data Scientists can use R from Spark with SingleStore DB.
