how do you deploy your spark application?

[Philip Ogren]

My last post (see 'akka config settings') makes me wonder how people are 
actually deploying Spark applications.  It seems unlikely that many 
people are building an uber jar file like I did and deploying in 
standalone mode directly with the java command (given the difficulties 
in actually getting this set up correctly.)  In fact, some of the 
various pages I stumbled on suggest that the default expectation is that 
one would run a spark application from maven (or perhaps sbt?)  I'd be 
curious to know how people are actually deploying spark applications in 
practice.

Thanks,
Philip
