Implements the sparse clustering methods of Witten and
        Tibshirani (2010): "A framework for feature selection in
        clustering"; published in Journal of the American Statistical
        Association 105(490): 713-726.

Read in 'SAS' Data ('.sas7bdat' Files) into 'Apache Spark' from R. 'Apache Spark' is an open source cluster computing framework available at <http://spark.apache.org>. This R package uses the 'spark-sas7bdat' 'Spark' package (<https://spark-packages.org/package/saurfang/spark-sas7bdat>) to import and process 'SAS' data in parallel using 'Spark'. Hereby allowing to execute 'dplyr' statements in parallel on top of 'SAS' data.

Load Avro Files into 'Apache Spark' using 'sparklyr'. This
    allows to read files from 'Apache Avro' <https://avro.apache.org/>.

A 'sparklyr' extension package providing an integration with Google 'BigQuery'.
  It supports direct import/export where records are directly streamed from/to 'BigQuery'.
  In addition, data may be imported/exported via intermediate data extracts on Google 'Cloud Storage'.

'Hail' is an open-source, general-purpose, 'python' based data analysis
    tool with additional data types and methods for working with genomic data, see
    <https://hail.is/>. 'Hail' is built to scale and has first-class support for 
    multi-dimensional structured data, like the genomic data in a genome-wide 
    association study (GWAS). 'Hail' is exposed as a 'python' library, using primitives
    for distributed queries and linear algebra implemented in 'scala', 'spark', and 
    increasingly 'C++'. The 'sparkhail' is an R extension using 'sparklyr' package. 
    The idea is to help R users to use 'hail' functionalities with the well-know
    'tidyverse' syntax, see <https://www.tidyverse.org/>.

Include interactive sparkline charts
    <http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline> in 
    all R contexts with the convenience of 'htmlwidgets'.

R interface to Apache Spark, a fast and general
    engine for big data processing, see <https://spark.apache.org/>. This
    package supports connecting to local and remote Apache Spark clusters,
    provides a 'dplyr' compatible back-end, and provides an interface to
    Spark's built-in machine learning algorithms.
