Sure, but why bother paying databricks for that? By default you'll be running 3+ machines while doing all your work in memory on the master node. It's just so very, very silly.

True. I’ve been wondering why they don’t facilitate non-spark use better. But then you can’t reasonably invoice 3 VMs extra, obviously.
