1) The document describes how to build a REST API using Spark, Spray, and Couchbase to enable fast CRUD operations on Couchbase data from Spark. 2) Key aspects include connecting Spark and Couchbase using the spark-connector library, starting a Spray server to host the REST API, and implementing CRUD routes using Couchbase APIs for RDDs like saveToCouchbase(), couchbaseGet(), couchbaseView(), and couchbaseQuery(). 3) The REST API provides routes for inserting, updating, and getting documents from Couchbase via key-value, views, and N1QL operations on RDDs.
