Hadoop is famously scalable. Cloud computing is famously scalable. But R – the preferred software and lingua franca of data scientists worldwide – not so much. But what if we seamlessly combined Hadoop with the cloud and R to create a scalable data science platform? Imagine exploring, transforming, modeling, and scoring data at any scale from the comfort of your favorite R environment. Now, imagine calling a simple R function to operationalize your predictive model as a scalable, cloud-based web service. 

Learn how to leverage the magic of Hadoop on-premises or in the cloud to run your R code, with thousands of open source R extension packages, and distributed implementations of the most popular machine learning algorithms, at scale.
