Scala Build Tool revisited
Previously, we have used the Scala console to interact with Spark. If we want to build a standalone application instead, it becomes unwieldy to manually manage the third-party library dependencies. Remember that first we had to download the JAR files for GraphStream and BreezeViz, as well as those of the libraries that they depend on. Then, we had to put them in the /lib folder and specify this list of JAR files when we submitted the Spark application using the --jars option. This process becomes extremely cumbersome when the application reuses many third-party libraries, which may also depend on several libraries. Fortunately, we can automate this process with SBT. Let's see how to manage the library dependencies, and ...
