[SPARK-11339][SPARKR] Document the list of functions in R base package that are masked by functions with same name in SparkR Added tests for function that are reported as masked, to make sure the base:: or stats:: function can be called. For those we can't call, added them to SparkR programming guide. It would seem to me `table, sample, subset, filter, cov` not working are not actually expected - I investigated/experimented with them but couldn't get them to work. It looks like as they are defined in base or stats they are missing the S3 generic, eg. ``` > methods("transform") [1] transform,ANY-method transform.data.frame [3] transform,DataFrame-method transform.default see '?methods' for accessing help and source code > methods("subset") [1] subset.data.frame subset,DataFrame-method subset.default [4] subset.matrix see '?methods' for accessing help and source code Warning message: In .S3methods(generic.function, class, parent.frame()) : function 'subset' appears not to be S3 generic; found functions that look like S3 methods ``` Any idea? More information on masking: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/faq/referencing_objects.htm http://www.sfu.ca/~sweldon/howTo/guide4.pdf This is what the output doc looks like (minus css):  Author: felixcheung <felixcheung_m@hotmail.com> Closes #9785 from felixcheung/rmasked.felixcheung authored[SPARK-11339][SPARKR] Document the list of functions in R base package that are masked by functions with same name in SparkR Added tests for function that are reported as masked, to make sure the base:: or stats:: function can be called.
