We are currently blocked on non availability of the following external dependencies for porting Spark to Scala 2.11 [SPARK-1812 Jira]:
- akka-*_2.11 (2.3.4-shaded-protobuf from org.spark-project). The shaded protobuf needs to be 2.5.0, and the shading is needed because Hadoop1 specifically needs protobuf 2.4. Issues arising because of this incompatibility is already explained in SPARK-1812 Jira. - chill_2.11 (0.4 from com.twitter) for core - algebird_2.11 (0.7 from com.twitter) for examples - kafka_2.11 (0.8 from org.apache) for external/kafka and examples - akka-zeromq_2.11 (2.3.4 from com.typesafe, but probably not needed if a shaded-protobuf version is released from org.spark-project) First, Who do I pester to get org.spark-project artifacts published for the akka shaded-protobuf version? Second, In the past what has been the convention to request/pester external projects to re-release artifacts in a new Scala version? Thanks!
