Talk Title: The Spark Kernel

Talk Abstract:
In this presentation, we will describe the "Spark Kernel" which enables applications, such as end-user facing and interactive applications, to interface with Spark clusters. It provides a gateway to define and run Spark tasks and to collect results from a cluster without the friction associated with shipping jars and reading results from peripheral systems. Using the Spark Kernel as a proxy, applications can be hosted remotely from Spark. Furthermore, a Kernel client library is available to enable application development. In addition to describing the Kernel itself, we will describe application use cases, potential limitations, and future plans for the codebase.
