[SPARK-11244][SPARKR] sparkR.stop() should remove SQLContext SparkR should remove `.sparkRSQLsc` and `.sparkRHivesc` when `sparkR.stop()` is called. Otherwise even when SparkContext is reinitialized, `sparkRSQL.init` returns the stale copy of the object and complains: ```r sc <- sparkR.init("local") sqlContext <- sparkRSQL.init(sc) sparkR.stop() sc <- sparkR.init("local") sqlContext <- sparkRSQL.init(sc) sqlContext ``` producing ```r Error in callJMethod(x, "getClass") : Invalid jobj 1. If SparkR was restarted, Spark operations need to be re-executed. ``` I have added the check and removal only when SparkContext itself is initialized. I have also added corresponding test for this fix. Let me know if you want me to move the test to SQL test suite instead. p.s. I tried lint-r but ended up a lots of errors on existing code.
