graphframes

The graphframes package provides an R interface to GraphFrames, bringing Apache Spark’s graph processing capabilities (similar to GraphX) to R users through integration with sparklyr.

The package enables distributed graph analysis at scale, supporting algorithms like PageRank, shortest paths, connected components, and triangle counting on large graph datasets. It leverages Spark’s distributed computing framework to handle graphs that would be too large for in-memory processing in R alone, while maintaining familiar R syntax through the sparklyr ecosystem.
