As per the recent presentation given in Scala days ( http://people.apache.org/~marmbrus/talks/SparkSQLScalaDays2014.pdf), it was mentioned that Catalyst is independent of Spark. But on inspecting pom.xml of sql/catalyst module, it seems it has a dependency on Spark Core. Any particular reason for the dependency? I would love to use Catalyst outside Spark
