-------------------------------------------------------------

commited ! Thanks RJ ! have fun in australia presenting this work.
And when you come back

lets add *kangaroos* to the pet store items !!!!

For those curious about this commit (its pretty big)

- adds spark into separate directory
- adds spark support for bigpetstore data generation
- for a demo of how to use this to test your spark clusters, just see the 
readme in {{bigtop-bigpetstore/bigpetstore-spark/}}.

> BigPetStore uses synthetic data as the basis for its workflow.  BPS's current 
> model for generating customer data is sufficient for basic testing of the 
> Hadoop ecosystem, **but the model is very basic and lacks sufficient 
> complexity for embedding interesting patterns into the data**.  
> As a result, **more complex, scalable testing such as testing clustering 
> algorithms in Mahout on non-trivial data or multidimensional data with 
> factors influencing it** is not currently possible.
> Efforts are currently underway to incrementally improve the current model 
> (see BIGTOP-1271 and BIGTOP-1272).  
> To create a model that can that incorporate **realistic, non-hierarchichal 
> patterns** and input data to generate rich customer/transaction data with 
> interesting correlations will require a re-imagining of the current model and 
> its framework.
> To support the improvements to the model in BigPetStore, I have been working 
> on an **alternative ab initio model, developed from scratch**. Since the 
> development of a new model involves substantial R&D work with more 
> specialized tools (mathematical and plotting libraries), I'm doing the 
> current work outside of BPS using the iPython Notebook environment.  Due to 
> the long time frame, the model will be developed on a separate timeline to 
> prevent slowing the development of BPS.  
> Once the model has stabilized, I will begin incorporating the model into BPS 
> itself.  One option is to implement the model in using Scala for clean 
> integration with **spark** which is likely to play an increasingly important 
> role in the hadoop ecosystem, and thus will be an important part of 
> bigpetstore as a test/blueprint app.
