Description

For building SparkR vignettes on Jenkins machines, we need the rmarkdown R. The package is available at
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rmarkdown/index.html - I think running something like
Rscript -e 'install.packages("rmarkdown", repos="http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/")'

should work
