I opened a PR on the vignettes fix to skip eval.

Agree with the points Felix made.

One thing is that it looks like the only problem is vignettes and the
tests are being skipped as designed. If you see
https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/SparkR_2.4.0_20181105_165757/Windows/00check.log

https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/SparkR_2.4.0_20181105_165757/Debian/00check.log,

Re: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN submission SparkR 2.4.0

2018-11-08 Thread Felix Cheung
They were discussed on dev@ in Mar 2018, for example.

Several attempts were made in 2.3.0, 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.4.0.
It’s not just tests, the last one is with vignettes.

The current doc about RStudio actually assumes you have the full Spark 
distribution (ie from the download page and Apache Mirror) and set SPARK_HOME 
etc, which is not a hard way and the doc also says it is the same for R shell, 
R script or other R IDE, with the exact same steps.

I didn’t realize the same thing was broken in 2.3.0, but we should probably 
have made this a blocker for future releases, if it’s just a matter of removing 
things from the test script. We should also make the docs at 
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sparkr.html clear about how we want people 
to run SparkR. They don’t seem to say to use any specific mirror or anything 
(in fact they only talk about how to import SparkR in RStudio and in our 
bin/sparkR, not in a normal R shell). I’m pretty sure it’s OK to update the 
docs website for 2.4.0 after the release to fix this if we want.

Do we need to create a JIRA ticket for it and list it as a known issue in
2.4.0 release notes?

2018-11-06 Thread Felix Cheung
I’d rather not mess with 2.4.0 at this point. On CRAN is nice but users can 
also install from Apache Mirror.

Also I had attempted and failed to get vignettes not to build, it was non 
trivial and could t get it to work.  It I have an idea.

As for tests I don’t know exact why is it not skipped. Need to investigate but 
worse case test_package can run with 0 test.

I think the second option, to skip the tests, is best right now, if
the alternative is to have no SparkR release at all!
Can we monkey-patch the 2.4.0 release for SparkR in this way, bless it
from the PMC, and release that? It's drastic but so is not being able
to release, I think.
Right? or is CRAN not actually an important distribution path for
SparkR in particular?

Re: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN submission SparkR 2.4.0

2018-11-06 Thread Shivaram Venkataraman
Right - I think we should move on with 2.4.0.

In terms of what can be done to avoid this error there are two strategies
- Felix had this other thread about JDK 11 that should at least let
Spark run on the CRAN instance. In general this strategy isn't
foolproof because the JDK version and other dependencies on that
machine keep changing over time and we dont have much control over it.
Worse we also dont have much control
- The other solution is to not run code to build the vignettes
document and just have static code blocks there that have been
pre-evaluated / pre-populated. We can open a JIRA to discuss the
pros/cons of this  ?

2018-11-06 Thread Felix Cheung
We have not been able to publish to CRAN for quite some time (since 2.3.0 was 
archived - the cause is Java 11)

I think it’s ok to announce the release of 2.4.0

Actually we worked with them before. Another possible approach is to remove the 
vignettes eval and all test from the source package... in the next release.

2018-11-06 Thread Matei Zaharia
Maybe it’s wroth contacting the CRAN maintainers to ask for help? Perhaps we 
aren’t disabling it correctly, or perhaps they can ignore this specific 
failure. +Shivaram who might have some ideas.

Re: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN submission SparkR 2.4.0

2018-11-05 Thread Felix Cheung
I don’t know what the cause is yet.

The test should be skipped because of this check
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/branch-2.4/R/pkg/inst/tests/testthat/test_basic.R#L21

And this
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/branch-2.4/R/pkg/inst/tests/testthat/test_basic.R#L57

But it ran:
callJStatic("org.apache.spark.ml.r.GeneralizedLinearRegressionWrapper", "fit", 
formula,

The earlier release was achived because of Java 11+ too so this unfortunately 
isn’t new.

Re: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN submission SparkR 2.4.0

2018-11-05 Thread Dongjoon Hyun
I'm wondering if we should change the order of publishing next time.
Although it's not announced, we already have uploaded artifacts for (1),
(2), (3).

1. Download: https://www-us.apache.org/dist/spark/spark-2.4.0/
2. Maven:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.spark/spark-core_2.12/2.4.0
3. PySpark: https://pypi.org/project/pyspark/2.4.0/

Bests,
Dongjoon.
