Have you tried SparkContext.addFile() (not addPyFile()) to add your R script? https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.2.0/api/python/pyspark.html#pyspark.SparkContext.addFile

One issue we came across is that a python script calling R script does not work in Zeppelin. %livy2.pyspark import os sc.addPyFile("hdfs:///user/zeppelin/my.py") import my my.test() my.test() calls R script like: ['Rscript', 'myR.r'] Fatal error: cannot open file 'myR.r': No such file or directory When running this notebook in jupyter, both my.py and myR.r exist in the same folder. I understand the story changes on hadoop because the scripts run in containers. My question: Is this scenario supported in zeppelin? How to add a R script into a python spark context so that the Python script can find the R script? Appreciate!
