For 3rd-party libs, I have been publishing independently, for example at
isarn-sketches-spark or silex:
https://github.com/isarn/isarn-sketches-spark
https://github.com/radanalyticsio/silex

Either of these repos provide some good working examples of publishing a
spark UDAF or ML library for jvm and pyspark.
(If anyone is interested in contributing new components to either of these,
feel free to reach out)

For people new to Spark library dev, Will Benton and I recently gave at
talk at SAI-EU on publishing Spark libraries:
https://databricks.com/session/apache-spark-for-library-developers-2
Cheers,
Erik
