> 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.)
