sparkR.callJStatic {SparkR}R Documentation

Call Static Java Methods

Description

Call a static method in the JVM running the Spark driver. The return value is automatically converted to R objects for simple objects. Other values are returned as "jobj" which are references to objects on JVM.

Usage

sparkR.callJStatic(x, methodName, ...)

Arguments

x

fully qualified Java class name that contains the static method to invoke.

methodName

name of static method to invoke.

...

parameters to pass to the Java method.

Details

This is a low level function to access the JVM directly and should only be used for advanced use cases. The arguments and return values that are primitive R types (like integer, numeric, character, lists) are automatically translated to/from Java types (like Integer, Double, String, Array). A full list can be found in serialize.R and deserialize.R in the Apache Spark code base.

Value

the return value of the Java method. Either returned as a R object if it can be deserialized or returned as a "jobj". See details section for more.

Note
