fwiw re: shell, this is just scala being incredibly useful. If anything, spark is following scala. So is for example BIDMat/BIDMach (and, sigh* mahout). I don't think differentiation means throwing away common baseline tools, there's gotta be more than that. (I'm of course advocating using shell in Mahout. flink having shell would mean online computations on par with mahout's shell for spark).
