Now it's time to fire up a Spark cluster which will give us all the functionality of Spark while simultaneously allowing us to use H2O algorithms and visualize our data. As always, we must download Spark 2.1 distribution from http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html and declare the execution environment beforehand.
