This patch introduces a future-based asynchronous execution of Spark actions. We wrap the matrix block with a future, create a matrix object handle, and maintain that in the symbol table. This extension allows triggering a chain of Spark instructions asynchronously and seeking the results only when needed.
TODO: Account the memory required for the future results, maintain the lineage of the broadcast variables to avoid premature removal.
