Hi George, This is unfortunately not possible now without modifying the source code, but we are planning to refactor PredictionIO to be runtime-agnostic, meaning the engine server would be independent and SparkContext would not be created if not necessary.
We will start a discussion on the refactoring soon. You are very welcome to add your input then, and any subsequent contribution would be highly appreciated.
