[SPARK-20278][R] Disable 'multiple_dots_linter' lint rule that is against
project's code style
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Currently, multi-dot separated variables in R is not allowed. For example,
```diff
setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"),
- function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) {
+ function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
if (asJsonArray) {
jschema <-
callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes",
"createArrayType",
```
produces an error as below:
```
R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names
should be separated by '_' rather than '.'.
function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
This seems against
https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml#identifiers which says
> The preferred form for variable names is all lower case letters and words
separated with dots
This looks because lintr https://github.com/jimhester/lintr follows
http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/style.html as written in the README.md. Few cases seems
not following Google's one as "a few tweaks".
Per SPARK-6813, we follow Google's R Style Guide with few exceptions
https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml. This is also merged into
Spark's website - https://github.com/apache/spark-website/pull/43
Also, it looks we have no limit on function name. This rule also looks
affecting to the name of functions as written in the README.md.
> `multiple_dots_linter`: check that function and variable names are
separated by _ rather than ..
## How was this patch tested?
Manually tested as below:
```R
setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"),
- function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) {
+ function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
if (asJsonArray) {
jschema <-
callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes",
"createArrayType",
```
**Before**
```R
R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names
should be separated by '_' rather than '.'.
function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
**After**
```
lintr checks passed.
```
