Convert spark dataframe to sparklyR table "tbl_spark"

Question

I'm trying to convert spark dataframe org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame to a sparklyr table tbl_spark. I tried with sdf_register, but it failed with following error.

In here, df is spark dataframe.

sdf_register(df, name = "my_tbl")

error is,

Error: org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Table not found: my_tbl; line 2 pos 17

Have I missed anything? or Is there any better way to convert it to tbl_spark?

Thanks!

Use sdf_copy_to() or dplyr::copy_to(), e.g. my_tbl <- sdf_copy_to(sc, df, "my_tbl")
