Apparently working code for loading images with Spark/DL4J

JavaPairRDD<String, PortableDataStream> origData = sc.binaryFiles("/home/prhodes/development/experimental/ai_exp/NeuralNetworkSandbox/mnist_png/training/**");		
		
		ImageRecordReader irr = new ImageRecordReader(28,28,1,new ParentPathLabelGenerator());
        List<String> labelsList = Arrays.asList( "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9" );
		irr.setLabels(labelsList);
        RecordReaderFunction rrf = new RecordReaderFunction(irr);
        JavaRDD<List<Writable>> rdd = origData.map(rrf);
		
		
		System.out.println( "DataSet RDD created");
		
		JavaRDD<DataSet> trainingData = rdd.map(new DataVecDataSetFunction(1,10, false, null, null ));
