r-spark/sparkhail: A 'Sparklyr' Extension for 'Hail'

'Hail' is an open-source, general-purpose, 'python' based data analysis tool with additional data types and methods for working with genomic data, see <https://hail.is/>. 'Hail' is built to scale and has first-class support for multi-dimensional structured data, like the genomic data in a genome-wide association study (GWAS). 'Hail' is exposed as a 'python' library, using primitives for distributed queries and linear algebra implemented in 'scala', 'spark', and increasingly 'C++'. The 'sparkhail' is an R extension using 'sparklyr' package. The idea is to help R users to use 'hail' functionalities with the well-know 'tidyverse' syntax, see <https://www.tidyverse.org/>.
