 The entry point into SparkR is the `SparkContext` which connects your R program to a Spark cluster.
 You can create a `SparkContext` using `sparkR.init` and pass in options such as the application name

 SparkR supports operating on a variety of data sources through the `DataFrame` interface. This section describes the general methods for loading and saving data using Data Sources. You can check the Spark SQL programming guide for more [specific options](sql-programming-guide.html#manually-specifying-options) that are available for the built-in data sources.
 
-The general method for creating DataFrames from data sources is `read.df`. This method takes in the `SQLContext`, the path for the file to load and the type of data source. SparkR supports reading JSON and Parquet files natively and through [Spark Packages](http://spark-packages.org/) you can find data source connectors for popular file formats like [CSV](http://spark-packages.org/package/databricks/spark-csv) and [Avro](http://spark-packages.org/package/databricks/spark-avro).

 We can see how to use data sources using an example JSON input file. Note that the file that is used here is _not_ a typical JSON file. Each line in the file must contain a separate, self-contained valid JSON object. As a consequence, a regular multi-line JSON file will most often fail.
