Description

The Spark spark-shell allows for spark variables to be supplied at the command line, e.g.:

spark-shell --driver-memory 4g

The mahout shell does not have an argument parser for CLI vars. We should allow for variables to be set in the same fashion; e.g.:

mahout spark-shell --driver-memory 4g

This would be a good issue for someone who wants to start working on mahout, to get familiar with the codebase.
