This is an example that demonstrates usage of:

1. Spark streaming and embedded Spark instance.
2. Different spark data analysis approaches.
3. Commons CLI to parse parameters.

1. Build project with $ mvn package.
2. Locate created spark-folder-monitor-xxx-jar-with-dependencies.jar in target folder.
3. Run $ java -jar spark-folder-monitor-xxx-jar-with-dependencies.jar --help to get information about available parameters.
4. Run $ java -jar spark-folder-monitor-xxx-jar-with-dependencies.jar to use default parameters (check monitor folder, display 10 items, use 10 seconds interval).
5. Move some text files to monitored folder.
6. Check console output. You should see analysis results - top used words, longest line etc.
