As Reynold said, you can still use Akka with Spark, but now it's more like using any third-party library that isn't already a Spark dependency (at least once the current Akka dependency is fully removed). Dean Wampler, Ph.D. Author: Programming Scala, 2nd Edition

Do you mind sharing your use case ? It may be possible to use a different approach than Akka. Cheers On Sat, Dec 26, 2015 at 10:08 AM, Disha Shrivastava wrote: > Hi, > > I wanted to know how to use Akka framework with Spark starting from > basics. I saw online that Spark uses Akka framework bu
