I've just been stack-trace-chasing the 404-in-task-commit code:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17216

And although it's got an org.apache.spark. prefix, it's
actually org.apache.spark.sql.delta, which lives in github, so the
code/issue tracker lives elsewhere.

I understand why they've done this -I've done it myself- it's to get a
classes package-scoped to spark (
https://github.com/hortonworks-spark/cloud-integration/blob/master/spark-cloud-integration/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/cloudera/ParallelizedWithLocalityRDD.scala
)

however, it can be confusing and time wasting

Can I suggest some common prefix for third-party-classes put into the spark
package tree, just to make clear that they are external contributions? It
will set expectations up all round

(*) Side node: Could whoever maintains that code do retries, which have to
have sleeps of >10-15s? We ended up having to do exponental backoff of >
90s to make sure the load balancers were clean. The time for a 404 to clear
is not "time since file was added", it is "time since last HEAD/GET/COPY
request". thx
