Answer 1

I think it was a bug that has now been resolved. Try the following,

Sys.setenv(SPARK_HOME="C:\\spark-1.4.0")

.libPaths(c(file.path(Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"), "R", "lib"), .libPaths()))

library("SparkR", lib.loc="C:\\spark-1.4.0\\lib") # The use of \\ is for windows environment.

library(SparkR)

sc=sparkR.init(master="local")

Launching java with spark-submit command C:\spark-1.4.0/bin/spark-submit.cmd sparkr-shell
