R-Help
 
I'm working in my first large database (53,098,492,383 records).  When I
select the db via something like
 
Library(SparkR)
mydata <- sql("SELECT * FROM <table name>")
 
is "mydata" a SparkDataFrame,  and do I work with SparkDataFrames like
I
would regular df (per say); because I can't image I would ever create a 53
billion record df.  I'm starting to acquaint myself with e SparkR package,
but I get confuse because it appears df and SparkDtaFrame are use
interchangeable. Or maybe not.
 
Looking for a good intro to SparkDataFrame.
