Ian Hellstrom has scripts to simplify Apache Spark application rollout:
When creating Apache Spark applications the basic structure is pretty much the same: for sbt you need the same
build.sbt, the same imports, and the skeleton application looks the same. All that really changes is the main entry point, that is the fully qualified class. Since that’s easy to automate, I present a couple of shell scripts that help you create the basic building blocks to kick-start Spark application development and allow you to easily upgrade versions in the configuration.
