The purpose of this program is to get you comfortable with compiling and running a recipe using the Spark 2.0 development environment you just set up. We will explore the components and steps in later chapters.
We are going to write our own version of the Spark 2.0.0 program and examine the output so we can understand how it works. To emphasize, this short recipe is only a simple RDD program with Scala sugar syntax to make sure you have set up your environment correctly before starting to work with more complicated recipes.
