I plan to do the work on scala-2.10 branch, which already move to akka 2.2.3, hope that to move to akka 2.3-M1 (which support protobuf 2.5.x) will not cause many problem and make it a test to see is there further issues, then wait for the formal release of akka 2.3.x
While the issue is that I can see many commits on master branch is not merged into scala-2.10 branch yet. The latest merge seems to happen on OCT.11, while as I mentioned in the dev branch merge/sync thread, seems that many earlier commit is not included and which will surely bring extra works on future code merging/rebase. So again, what's the code sync strategy and what's the plan of merge back into master?

Use dependency injection in google-guice to make Akka use one version of protobuf, and YARN use the other version. 2. Look into OSGi to accomplish the same goal. 3. Rewrite the messaging part of Spark to use a simple, custom RPC library instead of Akka. We are really only using a very simple subset of Akka features, and we can probably implement a simple RPC library tailored for Spark quickly. We should only do this as the last resort. 4. Talk to Akka guys and hope they can make a maintenance release of Akka that supports protobuf 2.5. None of these are ideal, but we'd have to pick one. It would be great if you have other suggestions.
