Yes, you can run apache spark as a single node really easily. Then once its running you can fire up the Scala or Python shell that it comes with. After that, it is just a matter of issuing the statements to setup the data set then issues queries against it.

Not many people know this but Databricks offers https://community.cloud.databricks.com/ for free which allows you to run simple spark notebooks.

Disclosure: works for Databricks but not on spark

Still, it seems like a lot of work. My case was that I just wanted to feed JSON document into some mechanism that will give me back what I want. I wouldn't like to embed whole Spark framework into my app. I will read about it though :)
