Notebook as production rest API

Question

I know databricks offers the possibility to simply convert notebooks into "production-grade" rest APIs.

Is there a similar functionality for open source notebooks like Zeppelin, Scala-Notebook or Jupiter Notebook or hue-notebook? It would be great if the solution would support sparkR.

Thanks a lot

Production-grade REST API ? Can you provide some references ? — eliasah, Apr 07 '16 at 18:39
well rather some useful API to quickly get the models into a production environment. — Georg Heiler, Apr 07 '16 at 18:40
I am thinking about something like this: http://blog.ibmjstart.net/2016/01/28/jupyter-notebooks-as-restful-microservices/ maybe a bit more mature — Georg Heiler, Apr 07 '16 at 18:58

Yes and no. Currently we are working to implement our models using spark-jobserver. However, it does not "talk" R and still our notebooks need to be re-written. So some sort of automatic solution would be favourable. – Georg Heiler Apr 08 '16 at 06:54
Got it. Livy recently added R support, see https://github.com/cloudera/livy/pull/96 It might be only in master branch though. – Tagar Apr 08 '16 at 15:34
I would prefer some integrated approach like https://www.lightbend.com/blog/scala-and-spark-notebook-the-next-generation-data-science-toolkit – Georg Heiler Apr 11 '16 at 06:49
do you know if livy is the only option which supports sparkR? – Georg Heiler Apr 19 '16 at 19:17
Yep, I think so.. You'll have to use Livy from master branch thought to have SparkR. – Tagar Apr 19 '16 at 19:39
