## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
When running SparkR job in yarn-cluster mode, it will download Spark package from apache website which is not necessary.
```
./bin/spark-submit --master yarn-cluster ./examples/src/main/r/dataframe.R
```
The following is output:
```
Attaching package: ‘SparkR’
The following objects are masked from ‘package:stats’:
cov, filter, lag, na.omit, predict, sd, var, window
The following objects are masked from ‘package:base’:
as.data.frame, colnames, colnames<-, drop, endsWith, intersect,
rank, rbind, sample, startsWith, subset, summary, transform, union
Spark not found in SPARK_HOME:
Spark not found in the cache directory. Installation will start.
MirrorUrl not provided.
Looking for preferred site from apache website...
......
```
There's no ```SPARK_HOME``` in yarn-cluster mode since the R process is in a remote host of the yarn cluster rather than in the client host. The JVM comes up first and the R process then connects to it. So in such cases we should never have to download Spark as Spark is already running.
## How was this patch tested?
Offline test.
