------------------------------------------

Great, thanks [~niketanpansare].  I'll see if I can get access to another Databricks Cloud instance to test this on, but it looks like it will work great for that issue.

> The default directory for the HDFS scratch space is "scratch_space", which is a relative file path.  Databricks cloud requires all paths be absolute, and we should assume that loading a separate config file is not appropriate for a notebook environment.  I currently have the source code patched for my deployments to Databricks cloud.
> One suggestion would be to add a "setScratchSpace()" method to MLContext so that users can change it in a notebook environment if needed.
