Bluemix Spark with Java

Question

I have a Bluemix trial and I want to use it with a Java application that I have developed using Spark framework using swift storage. This application uses Maven for its build process.I know there is a Spark service in BlueMix.

I have several questions:

• Should I use Jave liberty and then bind Spark and Object storage to it?

• What is the the proper way to declare spark imports?

• What is the proper way to authorize against Object storage in my Java program as Softlayer doesn't support keystone?

Are there any examples that I can look at for deploying such app into Bluemix?

Answer 1

The Bluemix Apache Spark Service currently, as of Nov 1st, 2015, only supports Jupyter notebooks, for scala and python language kernels. You cannot bind a java app to this notebook service.
