Critical Description
during my travails in porting spark builds to run on our centos worker, i managed to recreate (as best i could) the centos environment on our new ubuntu-testing machine.
while running my initial builds, lintr was crashing on some extraneous spaces in test_basic.R (see: https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/spark-master-test-sbt-hadoop-2.6-ubuntu-test/862/console)
after removing those spaces, the ubuntu build happily passed the lintr tests.
i then tested this against a modified spark-master-test-sbt-hadoop-2.6 build (see https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/view/RISELab%20Infra/job/testing-spark-master-test-with-updated-R-crap/4/), which scp'ed a copy of test_basic.R in to the repo after the git clone. everything seems to be working happily.
i will be creating a pull request for this now.
