Description

I was trying the SparkR interpreter and trying to connect to a Spark 2.1 cluster. I get the following failure when execute any cell

"Failed to connect JVM: Error in socketConnection(host = hostname, port = port, server = FALSE, : argument "timeout" is missing, with no default
Calls: sparkR.connect ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>
"
Looks like in Spark2.1, the timeout param to sparkRConnect no longer has a default value.
So this needs to fixed in here
