並行してRSeleniumを実行する

Question

どうすれば並列でRSeleniumを実行することができますか？

以下がremoteDriverを開始クラスタ内の各ノードに平行

library(RSelenium) 
library(rvest) 
library(magrittr) 
library(foreach) 
library(doParallel) 

URLsPar <- c("http://www.example.com/", "http://s5.tinypic.com/n392s6_th.jpg", "http://s5.tinypic.com/jl1jex_th.jpg", 
     "http://s6.tinypic.com/16abj1s_th.jpg", "http://s6.tinypic.com/2ymvpqa_th.jpg") 

(detectCores() - 1) %>% makeCluster %>% registerDoParallel 

ws <- foreach(x = 1:length(URLsPar), .packages = c("rvest", "magrittr", "RSelenium")) %dopar% { 
     URLsPar[x] %>% read_html %>% as("character")} 

stopImplicitCluster()

でrvestを用いた例である。

library(RSelenium) 
library(rvest) 
library(magrittr) 
library(foreach) 
library(doParallel) 

URLsPar <- c("http://www.bbc.com/", "http://www.cnn.com", "http://www.google.com", 
      "http://www.yahoo.com", "http://www.twitter.com") 
appHTML <- c() 
# start a Selenium Server 
selServ <- startServer() 

(cl <- (detectCores() - 1) %>% makeCluster) %>% registerDoParallel 
# open a remoteDriver for each node on the cluster 
clusterEvalQ(cl, { 
    library(RSelenium) 
    remDr <- remoteDriver() 
    remDr$open() 
}) 
myTitles <- c() 
ws <- foreach(x = 1:length(URLsPar), .packages = c("rvest", "magrittr", "RSelenium")) %dopar% { 
    remDr$navigate(URLsPar[x]) 
    remDr$getTitle()[[1]] 
} 

# close browser on each node 
clusterEvalQ(cl, { 
    remDr$close() 
}) 

stopImplicitCluster() 
# stop Selenium Server 
selServ$stop()
