In sparkavro: Load Avro file into 'Apache Spark'

Description

Reads a Avro file into Apache Spark using sparklyr.

Usage

spark_read_avro(
  sc,
  name,
  path,
  readOptions = list(),
  repartition = 0L,
  memory = TRUE,
  overwrite = TRUE
)

Arguments

sc	An active spark_connection.
name	The name to assign to the newly generated table.
path	The path to the file. Needs to be accessible from the cluster. Supports the "hdfs://", "s3n://" and "file://" protocols.
readOptions	A list of strings with additional options.
repartition	The number of partitions used to distribute the generated table. Use 0 (the default) to avoid partitioning.
memory	Boolean; should the data be loaded eagerly into memory? (That is, should the table be cached?)
overwrite	Boolean; overwrite the table with the given name if it already exists?

Examples

## Not run: 
## If you haven't got a Spark cluster, you can install Spark locally like this
library(sparklyr)
spark_install(version = "2.0.1")

sc <- spark_connect(master = "local")
df <- spark_read_avro(
  sc,
  "twitter",
  system.file("extdata/twitter.avro", package = "sparkavro"),
  repartition = FALSE,
  memory = FALSE,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

spark_disconnect(sc)
