> The Backend class is currently scoped to the api.r package. I'm accessing it, for the Zeppelin project, so I can start SparkR against an already-running spark context. To do this I've had to create a helper class withing api.r. It would be better if the backend were exposed. It isn't a tremendous amount of functionality - create a backend, start it, stop it.
> (If we want to be really clever, it could also be passed a spark context and make that available to R clients, facilitate passing rdd's back and forth, etc. I'll be pushing code that does some of that to Zeppelin in a day or two if that helps.)
