             Summary: Groovy bindings for Spark
                 Key: SPARK-2171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2171
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build, Documentation, Examples
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Artur Andrzejak
            Priority: Minor


A simple way to add Groovy bindings to Spark, without additional code.

The idea is to use the standard java implementations of RDD and
Context and to use the coercion of Groovy closure to abstract classes
to call all methods, which take anonymous inner classes in Java, with a closure.
Advantages:
- No need for new code, which avoids unnecessary bugs and implementation effort
- Access to spark from Groovy with the ease of closures using the
default Java implementations
- No need to install additional software
