Sean Owen commented on SPARK-11305:
-----------------------------------
I support this and would tack on a few more reasons:
- the Hadoop distributions listed here are quite old at this stage anyhow
- it could be perceived as subtly favoring the listed distributions
- I am not clear that, for example, the CDH4 build continues to work with CDH;
for all distributions, this might be implying a level of guarantee of
compatibility that isn't reflected in testing
Related: what about continuing to package and distribute the cdh4 build? For
similar reasons I think this could go in 1.6.
> Remove Third-Party Hadoop Distributions Doc Page
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-11305
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11305
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Patrick Wendell
> Priority: Critical
>
> There is a fairly old page in our docs that contains a bunch of assorted
> information regarding running Spark on Hadoop clusters. I think this page
> should be removed and merged into other parts of the docs because the
> information is largely redundant and somewhat outdated.
> http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/hadoop-third-party-distributions.html
> There are three sections:
> 1. Compile time Hadoop version - this information I think can be removed in
> favor of that on the "building spark" page. These days most "advanced users"
> are building without bundling Hadoop, so I'm not sure giving them a bunch of
> different Hadoop versions sends the right message.
> 2. Linking against Hadoop - this doesn't seem to add much beyond what is in
> the programming guide.
> 3. Where to run Spark - redundant with the hardware provisioning guide.
> 4. Inheriting cluster configurations - I think this would be better as a
> section at the end of the configuration page.
