Behavior of R connect method (can start cluster)

[exalate-issue-sync]

If you try to connect to an external ip without using {{config}} argument, you get:

{noformat}> h2o.connect(ip="some_url")
Error in h2o.init(ip = ip, port = port, strict_version_check = strict_version_check, :
Can only start H2O launcher if IP address is localhost.{noformat}

This works:

{noformat}> h2o.connect(config=list(ip="some_url")){noformat}

This seems like a bug.

Additionally, {{connect}} starts an h2o cluster if {{config}} isn’t used, which doesn’t seem like the correct behavior.
