R is one of the most popular open source statistical computing and graphical software. It can work with various data sources from comma separated files to web contents referred by URLs to relational databases to NoSQL (e.g. MongoDB or Cassandra) and Hadoop.

RImpala enables querying the data residing in HDFS and Apache HBase from R, which can be further processed as an R object using R functions. RImpala is now available for download from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) under GNU General Public License (GPL3).
