Zeppelin R Interpreter in Master fails

[#1]

After building Zeppelin 0.6.0 and I test the %spark.r %r interpreters and receive the error shown in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-983

It seems to boil down to class not found for SparkRInterpreter

I use the most simple build process as it seems there is no need to use -Pr or Psparkr anymore

git clone https://github.com/apache/zeppelin
cd zeppelin
mvn clean package -DskipTests

from zeppelin-interpreter-spark-root-hostname.log

When I check the dependency jars I find no class SparkRInterpreter though it does exist in the src folder of ~/zeppelin/spark

[root@hostname zeppelin]# jar -tf spark/target/zeppelin-spark-0.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar | grep SparkR


[root@hostname zeppelin]# ls spark/src/main/java/org/apache/zeppelin/spark/ | grep SparkR
SparkRInterpreter.java

Every other interpreter works as expected and can be found in the same dependency jar for Spark Interpreter

[root@rings hostname]# jar -tf spark/target/zeppelin-spark-0.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar | grep PySpark
org/apache/zeppelin/spark/PySparkInterpreter.class


org/apache/zeppelin/spark/PySparkInterpreter$PythonInterpretRequest.class
[root@rings hostname]# jar -tf spark/target/zeppelin-spark-0.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar | grep SparkSql
org/apache/zeppelin/spark/SparkSqlInterpreter.class


[root@rings hostname]# jar -tf spark/target/zeppelin-spark-0.6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar | grep DepInterpreter
org/apache/zeppelin/spark/DepInterpreter.class

[#2 · Accepted solution]

Found that the options -Pspark-X.X & -Psparkr are required for the build

[#3]

@wsalazar This is what i use to build the zeppelin:

mvn clean package -Pspark-1.X -Dhadoop.version=2.X.0 -Phadoop-2.X -Pyarn -DskipTests

swap .X for the version you are building against.

It makes it YARN compatible.
