Hey Rob, That is awesome to hear! We have an effort going on in Apache SIS right now http://sis.apache.org/ and we've had some discussions but no one has implement a Spark backend yet. I'd love to see it. It would be great to see how GeoTrellis fits in.
CC'ing the [email protected] list to loop them in.
