1. Install Spark (either download pre-built Spark, or build assembly from source).  
   • Install/build a compatible version.  Hive root pom.xml's <spark.version> defines what version of Spark it was built/tested with. 
   • Install/build a compatible distribution.  Each version of Spark has several distributions, corresponding with different versions of Hadoop.
   • Once Spark is installed, find and keep note of the <spark-assembly-*.jar> location.
   • If you download Spark pre-built you will need to replace the Spark 1.2.x assembly with http://ec2-50-18-79-139.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/data/spark-assembly-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT-hadoop2.3.0-cdh5.1.2.jar
2. Start Spark cluster (both standalone and spark Spark on yarn YARN are supported).
   • Keep note of the <Spark Master URL>.  This can be found in Spark master WebUI.
