If possible, how can I update R Version on Azure Databricks?

User16790091296
Contributor II

Azure Databricks currently runs R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15), which is unacceptable in my opinion since the latest R version on CRAN is 3.5.2 (2018-12-20).

My question is: Is it possible for me to upgrade and install R version 3.5.2 on Azure Databricks? Follow-up question, is there any information available regarding the release schedule for R on Databricks?

  1. You can change the R version by following this document we have https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/kb/r/change-r-version
  2. The R version comes with each DBR (Databricks Runtime) can be find in the release note https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/release-notes/runtime/releases

Note that, the SparkR may not work if the upgrade to a different R version. But your use case should work fine.
