This blog post describes how to set up R, RHadoop packages and RStudio server on Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR).Īnother technology shaking things up in Big Data is R. This combination provides a powerful statistical analyses environment, including a user-friendly IDE on a fully managed Hadoop environment that starts up in minutes, and saves time and money for your data-driven analyses. ![]() At the end of this post, I’ve added a Big Data analysis using a public data set with daily global weather measurements. R is an open source programming language and software environment designed for statistical computing, visualization and data. Due to its flexible package system and powerful statistical engine, the statistical software R can provide methods and technologies to manage and process a big amount of data. It is the fastest-growing analytics platform in the world, and is established in both academia and business due to its robustness, reliability, and accuracy. Nearly every top vendor of advanced analytics has integrated R and can now import R models. This allows data scientists, statisticians and other sophisticated enterprise users to leverage R within their analytics package. The open source project RHadoopprovides several R packages to work with R and Hadoop interactively. It uses Hadoop Streaming to send jobs from R to Hadoop and works for the Hadoop distributions CDH3 and higher, or Apache 1.0.2 and higher.
