In WinVector/replyr: Patches to Use 'dplyr' on Remote Data Sources

binding rows on spark

It would be nice if dplyr::bind_rows could be a used on Sparklyr data handles.

OSX 10.11.6. Spark installed as described at http://spark.rstudio.com

• Expected outcome: dplyr::bind_rows to work with Sparklyr data reference.
• Observed outcome: can't bind.
