title = "Parallelizing R in hadoop (a work-in-progress study)",
abstract = "R is a popular programming language which is widely adopted by data scientists. However, typical R can only be executed in a single machine environment. Although R can be linked to Hadoop such as RHadoop, R users need to develop their R scripts based on the MapReduce framework. This de-mands highly skill of R programmers to parallelize their R pro-grams in terms of Map and Reduce jobs, killing the motivation of performing R computation in distributed environments out-pacing the single machine capacity. We present an implementa-tion for parallelizing R in Hadoop in this paper. Our objective is to allow R users to run their R scripts, which are developed in a single machine environment, in Hadoop without modification. While this research work is still ongoing, we report our prelim-inary experiences in this paper on how to hide the complexity of migrating and running such R scripts in Hadoop.",
