Thank you Spark community you make life much more lovely - suffering in silence is not fun!
I am trying to build the Spark Git branch from Manish Amde, available here: https://github.com/manishamde/spark/tree/ada_boost I am trying to build the non-master branch 'ada_boost' (in the link above), but './sbt/sbt assembly' does not work, as it sees all kinds of new code that doesn't build. I saw another script at the top-level called 'make-distribution.sh' which requires maven and specifically Java 6 (does not allow javac version 7), but that also fails. Does anybody have any pointers for building this developmental build of Spark with support for adaptive boosting (adaboost ensemble decision tree method) in MLlib? Thanks!
