registerTempTable(createDataFrame(iris), "iris")
str(collect(sql("select cast('1' as double) as x, cast('2' as decimal) as y from iris limit 5")))
'data.frame': 5 obs. of 2 variables:
$ x: num 1 1 1 1 1
$ y:List of 5
..$ : num 2
..$ : num 2
..$ : num 2
..$ : num 2
..$ : num 2
The problem is that spark returns `decimal(10, 0)` col type, instead of `decimal`. Thus, `decimal(10, 0)` is not handled correctly. It should be handled as "double".
As discussed in JIRA thread, we can have two potential fixes:
1). Scala side fix to add a new case when writing the object back; However, I can't use spark.sql.types._ in Spark core due to dependency issues. I don't find a way of doing type case match;
2). SparkR side fix: Add a helper function to check special type like `"decimal(10, 0)"` and replace it with `double`, which is PRIMITIVE type. This special helper is generic for adding new types handling in the future.
I open this PR to discuss pros and cons of both approaches. If we want to do Scala side fix, we need to find a way to match the case of DecimalType and StructType in Spark Core.

Currently, `HiveContext` in SparkR is not being tested and always skipped.
This is because the initiation of `TestHiveContext` is being failed due to trying to load non-existing data paths (test tables).

This enables the tests with SparkR.

#14551 fixed off-by-one bug in ```randomizeInPlace``` and some test failure caused by this fix.
But for SparkR ```spark.gaussianMixture``` test case, the fix is inappropriate. It only changed the output result of native R which should be compared by SparkR, however, it did not change the R code in annotation which is used for reproducing the result in native R. It will confuse users who can not reproduce the same result in native R. This PR sends a more robust test case which can produce same result between SparkR and native R.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR introduces the new SparkSession API for SparkR.
`sparkR.session.getOrCreate()` and `sparkR.session.stop()`
"getOrCreate" is a bit unusual in R but it's important to name this clearly.
SparkR implementation should
- SparkSession is the main entrypoint (vs SparkContext; due to limited functionality supported with SparkContext in SparkR)
- SparkSession replaces SQLContext and HiveContext (both a wrapper around SparkSession, and because of API changes, supporting all 3 would be a lot more work)
- Changes to SparkSession is mostly transparent to users due to SPARK-10903
- Full backward compatibility is expected - users should be able to initialize everything just in Spark 1.6.1 (`sparkR.init()`), but with deprecation warning
- Mostly cosmetic changes to parameter list - users should be able to move to `sparkR.session.getOrCreate()` easily
- An advanced syntax with named parameters (aka varargs aka "...") is supported; that should be closer to the Builder syntax that is in Scala/Python (which unfortunately does not work in R because it will look like this: `enableHiveSupport(config(config(master(appName(builder(), "foo"), "local"), "first", "value"), "next, "value"))`
- Updating config on an existing SparkSession is supported, the behavior is the same as Python, in which config is applied to both SparkContext and SparkSession
- Some SparkSession changes are not matched in SparkR, mostly because it would be breaking API change: `catalog` object, `createOrReplaceTempView`
- Other SQLContext workarounds are replicated in SparkR, eg. `tables`, `tableNames`
- `sparkR` shell is updated to use the SparkSession entrypoint (`sqlContext` is removed, just like with Scale/Python)
- All tests are updated to use the SparkSession entrypoint
- A bug in `read.jdbc` is fixed
