Description

Currently it's not convenient to try out Delta Lake. People need to install Spark first, and following multiple steps in https://docs.delta.io/latest/quick-start.html#set-up-apache-spark-with-delta-lake

It would be great if we can publish a docker image for Delta Lake so that people can try it out using a simple docker command.

For such docker image, we can maintain a Dockerfile in the GitHub repo and publish a new image to https://hub.docker.com/u/deltaio in each release.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing Delta Lake quick start guide and Spark installation steps. Create a Dockerfile that sets up Spark with Delta Lake bundled, and configure a CI pipeline to build and push the image to Docker Hub on releases.
