Description

Spark seems to be gaining a lot of data input / output features for integrating with systems like HBase, Kafka, JDBC, Hadoop, etc.

It might be a good idea to create a single documentation page that provides a list of all of the data sources that Spark supports and links to the relevant documentation / examples / spark-users threads. This would help prospective users to evaluate how easy it will be to integrate Spark with their existing systems.
