Move back to multi-module project

[arahuja]

I wanted to discuss moving Guacamole back to a multi-module project. There are two main reasons I'd like to do this

1. Separate out Spark and non-Spark components, it'd be nice to have the commands and DistributedUtil separated from the other more general code, that code can be used in other project then as well.
2. Setting up some Avro/serialization structures. It may be nice to have easy Avro/Parquet serialization for some of our outputs as opposed to CSVs.

Interested to hear thoughts before though cc @timodonnell @ryan-williams @danvk

Also, while doing this, maybe it's worth going to an SBT build, @ryan-williams would you recommend this?

otomh I don't have a strong desire to switch to SBT and stop supporting Maven. supporting both also seems reasonable but I also don't have a strong desire to make that happen either. willing to hear from ppl who might feel strongly about either.

OK, I have no strong feelings on SBT either, other than it was difficult to find a coveralls tool to work with maven for #244. Mostly, I was just thinking if we were taking this on might be nice to do both at the same time.

If you think this is a good idea, Arun, I'm not opposed
