I have seen a few questions on the mailing list related to accessing
resource pools from the front end, and some pull requests related to
downloading the result.

(https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/761,
https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/725)

Unfortunately, from brief inspection, these are working in javascript, so
cannot deal with data larger than the browser can handle (which is quite
easy to create with some of these big data tools).

Fortunately, there is a design that addresses this (in part):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZEPPELIN/Helium+proposal

Wouldn't it be nice to use that same idea to allow for downloading TSV
files some day?  Maybe today can be that day.

Here are three tickets that cover using resource pools to download results:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/782
https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/816
https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/822

The third one contains everything that the first two do, but they're
probably worth reviewing independently because they're separate pieces of
functionality.

What do you think?

I bring it up on the mailing list because other pull requests quasi-related
to this are popping up, and I hope this can be merged so that those other
pull requests can make use of this to their advantage.
