Description

Apache Sedona in R works as an extension of Sparklyr. Read/write functions for Sedona should follow the same overall format than the rest of the framework. E.g. :

• Type of return value (I believe a tbl)
• Standard arguments: name, path, memory, repartition...
• Standard behavior: overwrite, default names etc.

Currently some functions in R sedona return RDDs that need to be registered as sdf.
