Add a regular method for adding a term to accumulators in
pyspark. Currently if you have a non-global accumulator, adding to it
is awkward. The += operator can't be used for non-global accumulators
captured via closure because it's involves an assignment. The only way
to do it is using __iadd__ directly.
Adding this method lets you write code like this:
def main():
sc = SparkContext()
accum = sc.accumulator(0)
rdd = sc.parallelize([1,2,3])
def f(x):
accum.add(x)
rdd.foreach(f)
print accum.value
where using accum += x instead would have caused UnboundLocalError
exceptions in workers. Currently it would have to be written as
accum.__iadd__(x).
