UCSD Spark Plugin

[matday]

This is a full open source plugin for Spark integration

It includes a full converged stack view, 16 workflows and nice features like rollback and popup selections. It was written with the intention to be well documented, easy to test and as a great starter for people to write their own UCS Director plugins for storage, compute and networking.

It is open source and released under the Apache License 2.0.
