Write up instructions for using with a notebook about apache-spark-node

[itayw]

Thanks for this project.

May I suggest also looking into Apache Zeppelin?

@itayw As far as I know Zeppelin already incorporates Spark. So what exactly do you expect?

[itayw]

Yep, they do have native support for Spark.

I'm still learning about this project and when, so this issue maybe out of
place. However, when I saw this ticket I thought it would be great to
somehow combine between Zeppelin and its capabilities and having the
freedom to use JavaScript instead of Java, Scala or python.

@itayw yes Zeppelin seems like another good candidate. I don't know if it already has javascript support though? Whichever one (Zeppelin, Beaker, ...) my hope is that this shouldn't require any dev effort, just putting the pieces together...

Here's a gist for building a Docker image that will allow you to run beaker with apache-node-spark.

I've used beaker's image coupled with instructions taken from apache-node-spark Dockerfile. I managed to run snippets based on test/smokeTest.js without special issues.

I'm continuing to learn more about the integration and ease-of-use. Please let me know of any feedback.

@itayw Thanks, looks good after a short first look. I currently update the standard Dockerfile concerning new Spark and Node.js versions. I'll open a PR for this today.

Going forward, I'd suggest to have two different Docker images, one for the standard REPL, and one for the Beaker notebook. @henridf could publish both on Docker Hub.
