Stan running in distribution settings with a distribution engine such as Spark

can Stan run in distribution setting (multiple nodes) with a distribution engine such as spark ? Do we have such interfaces available for stan and spark?
I am able to run R in a private cluster managed by Kubernetes in distributed nodes having spark engine using sparklyr interface which uses dplyr at its backend . However i want STAN job also to be carried out by the spark engines or in a distributed environment

We are working to enable similar functionality but i don’t think that will be part of Stan very soon, I am afraid.
