Pull request overview
This PR updates Zeppelin’s documentation to remove or replace references to the removed R interpreter / SparkR functionality (per ZEPPELIN-6430), ensuring the docs only describe currently supported interpreters and environments.
Changes:
- Removes R-related example links, build/runtime requirements, and documentation sections that referenced
%spark.r/ R interpreter usage. - Updates generic interpreter examples to use supported
%spark.sql(and similar) instead of R. - Fixes stale Docker Python environment links by pointing to the current
env_python_3.yml.

What changed
This cleans up documentation references left behind after the R interpreter, SparkR, and rlang code removal in ZEPPELIN-6430.
%spark.rand R example blocks, and updated the generic interpreter example to use%spark.sql.env_python_3_with_R.ymllinks to the current Python environment file.Why
The code removal left docs that still implied R interpreter or SparkR support. These updates avoid sending users toward removed functionality while keeping supported Python, Spark, SQL, and Mahout docs intact.
Validation
git diff --checkrg -n "SparkR|R interpreter|r-base|r-cran|IRkernel|R Tutorial|%spark\\.r|%r\\b|env_python_3_with_R" docs --glob "*.md"interpreter-base/interpreter-based.
