HyukjinKwon 17321782de [SPARK-26923][R][SQL][FOLLOW-UP] Show stderr in the exception whenever possible in RRunner
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This is a followup of https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23977 I made a mistake related to this line: 3725b1324f (diff-71c2cad03f08cb5f6c70462aa4e28d3aL112)

Previously,

1. the reader iterator for R worker read some initial data eagerly during RDD materialization. So it read the data before actual execution. For some reasons, in this case, it showed standard error from R worker.

2. After that, when error happens during actual execution, stderr wasn't shown: 3725b1324f (diff-71c2cad03f08cb5f6c70462aa4e28d3aL260)

After my change 3725b1324f (diff-71c2cad03f08cb5f6c70462aa4e28d3aL112), it now ignores 1. case and only does 2. of previous code path, because 1. does not happen anymore as I avoided to such eager execution (which is consistent with PySpark code path).

This PR proposes to do only 1.  before/after execution always because It is pretty much possible R worker was failed during actual execution and it's best to show the stderr from R worker whenever possible.

### Why are the changes needed?

It currently swallows standard error from R worker which makes debugging harder.

### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

Yes,

```R
df <- createDataFrame(list(list(n=1)))
collect(dapply(df, function(x) {
  stop("asdkjasdjkbadskjbsdajbk")
  x
}, structType("a double")))
```

R on Spark

SparkR is an R package that provides a light-weight frontend to use Spark from R.

Installing sparkR

Libraries of sparkR need to be created in $SPARK_HOME/R/lib. This can be done by running the script $SPARK_HOME/R/install-dev.sh. By default the above script uses the system wide installation of R. However, this can be changed to any user installed location of R by setting the environment variable R_HOME the full path of the base directory where R is installed, before running install-dev.sh script. Example:

# where /home/username/R is where R is installed and /home/username/R/bin contains the files R and RScript
export R_HOME=/home/username/R
./install-dev.sh

SparkR development

Build Spark

Build Spark with Maven and include the -Psparkr profile to build the R package. For example to use the default Hadoop versions you can run

./build/mvn -DskipTests -Psparkr package

Running sparkR

You can start using SparkR by launching the SparkR shell with

./bin/sparkR

The sparkR script automatically creates a SparkContext with Spark by default in local mode. To specify the Spark master of a cluster for the automatically created SparkContext, you can run

./bin/sparkR --master "local[2]"

To set other options like driver memory, executor memory etc. you can pass in the spark-submit arguments to ./bin/sparkR

Using SparkR from RStudio

If you wish to use SparkR from RStudio, please refer SparkR documentation.

Making changes to SparkR

The instructions for making contributions to Spark also apply to SparkR. If you only make R file changes (i.e. no Scala changes) then you can just re-install the R package using R/install-dev.sh and test your changes. Once you have made your changes, please include unit tests for them and run existing unit tests using the R/run-tests.sh script as described below.

Generating documentation

The SparkR documentation (Rd files and HTML files) are not a part of the source repository. To generate them you can run the script R/create-docs.sh. This script uses devtools and knitr to generate the docs and these packages need to be installed on the machine before using the script. Also, you may need to install these prerequisites. See also, R/DOCUMENTATION.md

Examples, Unit tests

SparkR comes with several sample programs in the examples/src/main/r directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/spark-submit <filename> <args>. For example:

./bin/spark-submit examples/src/main/r/dataframe.R

You can run R unit tests by following the instructions under Running R Tests.

Running on YARN

The ./bin/spark-submit can also be used to submit jobs to YARN clusters. You will need to set YARN conf dir before doing so. For example on CDH you can run

export YARN_CONF_DIR=/etc/hadoop/conf
./bin/spark-submit --master yarn examples/src/main/r/dataframe.R
