 ### Configuration
+We added some common configurations for spark, and you can set any configuration you want.
+This link contains all spark configurations: http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/configuration.html#available-properties.
+And instead of starting property with `spark.` it should be replaced with `livy.spark.`.
+Example: `spark.master` to `livy.spark.master`
