checkpoint: checkpoint

In SparkR: R Front End for 'Apache Spark'

Description

Returns a checkpointed version of this SparkDataFrame. Checkpointing can be used to truncate the logical plan, which is especially useful in iterative algorithms where the plan may grow exponentially. It will be saved to files inside the checkpoint directory set with setCheckpointDir

Usage

checkpoint(x, eager = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame'
checkpoint(x, eager = TRUE)

Arguments

x	A SparkDataFrame
eager	whether to checkpoint this SparkDataFrame immediately

Value

a new checkpointed SparkDataFrame

Note

checkpoint since 2.2.0
