Description

Reads from a Spark Table into a Spark DataFrame.

Usage

spark_load_table(

  repartition = 0,
  memory = TRUE,
  overwrite = TRUE
)

Arguments

sc

A spark_connection.

name

The name to assign to the newly generated table.

path

The path to the file. Needs to be accessible from the cluster. Supports the "hdfs://", "s3a://" and "file://" protocols.
