See attached screenshot. It runs the cell for 10minutes before erroring out. I think it may not know how to output the results. But not too sure. It works locally in R Studio, just seems to be a databricks issue.145819-evalfailed.jpg

    Hello @Haylee Gaddy ,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

    Azure Databricks comes with a library called SparkR (R on Spark). SparkR is an R package that provides a light-weight frontend to use Apache Spark from R. SparkR also supports distributed machine learning using MLlib.
