:: AlpineSdkApi :: This is the Spark Job base class. It gets submitted to the cluster by a Runtime class which is a derivative of SparkRuntime. The 'onExecution method' in this class serves as the driver function for the Spark Job.
If you choose to use this class as a base rather than using the its child "SparkIOTypedPluginJob' you must implement your own serialization and deserialization logic for the inputs and outputs.
