Considering Spark for large data elements

[Rob Sargent]

I have an application which might benefit from Sparks 
distribution/analysis, but I'm worried about the size and structure of 
my data set.  I need to perform several thousand simulation on a rather 
large data set and I need access to all the generated simulations.  The 
data element is largely in int[r][c] where r is 100 to 1000 and c is 
20-80K (there's more but that array is the bulk of the problem.  I have 
machines and memory capable of doing 6-10 simulations simultaneously in 
separate jvms.  Is this data structure compatible with Sparks RDD notion?

If yes, I will have a slough of how-to-get-started questions, the first 
of which is how to seed the run?  My thinking is to use 
org.apache.spark.api.java.FlatMapFunction starting with an EmptyRDD and 
the seed data.  Would that be the way to go?

Thanks
