Guys, I just realized that this includes a really cool submodule called
"Map Reduce" which seems to be a generalized form of Spark! It also has around
3x the amount of code, and that's in Java (which is somewhat more concise than
Scala), so I estimate it's roughly 5x as awesome as Spark. Are there plans for
deprecating the Spark API in favor of "Map Reduce"?
If we deprecate Spark in 0.9.1 and replace it with Map Reduce in 1.0.0,
that should give users enough time to migrate to the new API (which is much
simpler -- only two functions!).
