;; CREATE A TOY DATA

         {:id 2.0 :name "name2"}

;; RUN THE FOLLOWING R CODE IN ADVANCE TO START THE RSERVE SERVER:
;;   R -e 'library(Rserve)' -e 'Rserve(args = "--vanilla")'
;; IF YOU HAVE LITTLER INSTALLED, BELOW ALSO WORKS:
;;   r -e 'library(Rserve); Rserve(args = "--vanilla")'  
(rr/init)

;; PASS THE DATA FROM CLOJURE INTO R
(map (fn [x] (rr/<- (name (key x)) (val x)))

;; TEST THE R DATA.FRAME
(rc/eval "df$id")
; [1.0 2.0 3.0]

; ["name1" "name2" "name3"]

;; CONVERT THE R DATA.FRAME BACK TO THE CLOJURE MAP

;; TEST THE EQUALITY BETWEEN INPUT AND OUTPUT DATA

;; ALTERNATIVELY, WE CAN ALSO CONVERT THE R DATA.FRAME TO A CLOJURE DATASET
(def dt (id/dataset-from-columns (map keyword (rr/colnames 'df)) (rr/matrix 'df)))

; #dataset/dataset {:column-names [:id :name], :columns [[1.0 2.0 3.0] ["name1" "name2" "name3"]], :shape [3 2]}

;; NEXT, CONVERT THE DATASET TO THE MAP
(def mp2 (dt/row-maps dt))

; [{:id 1.0, :name "name1"} {:id 2.0, :name "name2"} {:id 3.0, :name "name3"}]
