you should be able to define and use flambo in a REPL connected to a cluster

I do this all the time

@mtijerina ^

one key is that if you define it in a repl, you need to use anonymous f/fn's for you operations

those are serializable

if you def or defn in the user namespace, those won't exist on the cluster worker nodes when you try to execute them

so you can do stuff like:

(def whatever (f/text-file sc "<s3n://something>"))
(def res (-&gt; whatever (f/flat-map (f/fn [x] ...)) (f/reduce (f/fn [x y] (merge x y))) f/collect))

something I do as well to make working in a repl on a cluster easier, is I make a namespace in my uberjar that has a bunch of commonly used functions, such as date/time stuff

in my REPL, I switch into that workspace and work there

that way, those common functions do exist on the worker nodes
