Install rJava on stat2
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

RJDBC is a direct connector between R and JDBC - in other words, it'll allow me to read Hive/Hadoop data directly into R, which is kind of a good prerequisite for the MobileMetrics stuff because it increases speed substantially.

It's not debianised, but the primary dependency, rJava, is - https://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.04/ubuntu-universe-i386/r-cran-rjava_0.9-3-1_i386.deb.html . If we get rJava installed, I can install RJDBC locally without any difficulty and we can has direct hive consuming from R.

Hi Andrew -- reviewing this bug, it seems like debianizing this package would be time consuming. Thoughts?

-Toby

That's the thing; rJava, which is debianised, is the only thing I actually need Engineering support to install. RJDBC /should/ be doable as a local library, which is how we handled RDBC and RMySQL.

Oliver did this himself. Closing.
