Hi Sean, The issue we have here is that all our products are based on a single platform and we try to make all our products coherent with our platform as much as possible. so, having two web services in one instance would not be a very elegant solution. That is why we were seeking a way to switch

To add to Sean and Reynold's point: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Spark depends on hadoop-common which also uses jetty in the HttpServer2 code. So even if you remove jetty from Spark by making it an optional dependency, it will be pulled in by Hadoop. So you'll still see that your

Sure, but you are not using Netty at all. It's invisible to you. It's not as if you have to set up and maintain a Jetty container. I don't think your single platform for your apps is relevant. You can turn off the UI, but as Reynold said, the HTTP servers are also part of the core data transport

I do not think it makes sense to make the web server configurable. Mostly because there's no real problem in running an HTTP service internally based on Netty while you run your own HTTP service based on something else like Tomcat. What's the problem? On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 3:14 AM, Niranda

Hey Niranda, It seems to me a lot of effort to support multiple libraries inside of Spark like this, so I'm not sure that's a great solution. If you are building an application that embeds Spark, is it not possible for you to continue to use Jetty for Spark's internal servers and use tomcat for

Hi Sean, The main issue we have is, running two web servers in a single product. we think it would not be an elegant solution. Could you please point me to the main areas where jetty server is tightly coupled or extension points where I could plug tomcat instead of jetty? If successful I could

Niranda, I'm not sure if I'd say Spark's use of Jetty to expose its UI monitoring layer constitutes a use of two web servers in a single product. Hadoop uses Jetty as well as do many other applications today that need embedded http layers for serving up their monitoring UI to users. This is

There's no particular reason you have to remove the embedded Jetty server, right? it doesn't prevent you from using it inside another app that happens to run in Tomcat. You won't be able to switch it out without rewriting a fair bit of code, no, but you don't need to. On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 5:08

Most likely no. We are using the embedded mode of Jetty, rather than using servlets. Even if it is possible, you probably wouldn't want to embed Spark in your application server ... On Sun, Feb 15, 2015 at 9:08 PM, Niranda Perera niranda.per...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, We are thinking of

Hi, We are thinking of integrating Spark server inside a product. Our current product uses Tomcat as its webserver. Is it possible to switch the Jetty webserver in Spark to Tomcat off-the-shelf? Cheers -- Niranda

Mostly UI. However, we are also using Jetty as a file server I believe (for distributing files from the driver to workers). On Sun, Feb 15, 2015 at 9:24 PM, Niranda Perera niranda.per...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Reynold, Thank you for the response. Could you please clarify the need of Jetty
