Thank you very much for contributing this!
It would be great to have a high level summary of the changes, so please
correct me in case I miss-understand something:
This PR allows users of pyspark skip setting pythonpath env var, copy
Python modules on every node of he cluster and have spark installed(in case of
pyspark in local mode on 1 machine) by adding new artefact to the Zeppelin
build, a python, hidden behind optional build profile, that brings py4j as well
as Python code of pyspark by downloading (and caching) actual spark
distribution and re-packing those to a zip file, available in Z class path at
runtime.
Is that correct?
If it is - that sounds great to me, pspark not working in Z with local
interpreter without having spark installed was very frustrating.
One question: a Python dir is not a maven submodule now but may be it
should be, one day, what do you guys think?
