This document discusses Distributed DataFrame (DDF), a new technology that aims to simplify working with big data for data scientists and analysts. DDF provides a table-like abstraction on top of big data that offers native R data frame functionality, real-time scoring abilities, data wrangling and modeling tools, and integration with external machine learning libraries, all while allowing users to work in their preferred programming language like R or Python. The technology is being developed to provide an easy to use interface for big data similar to how SQL and R work for small data.
