    The two changes below are functions used in serializing and deserializing 
StructType from R to JVM (when calling collect or parallelize)
    
    Again I think since StructTypes themselves can't contain other JVM 
references I think its fine, but I'm less sure about this. (i.e what happens 
when we say embed an array into the structType). 
    
    Another option here is to figure out which RBackend is calling this 
function and use its JVMObjectTracker ? Do we want to support cases where there 
are multiple active RBackends ? If not we can denote an `activeRBackend` and 
then use its jvm object tracker in these places ?
