----------------------------------------
Summary: PySpark Packages should automatically choose correct
scala version
Key: SPARK-27911
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27911
Project: Spark
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: PySpark
Affects Versions: 2.4.3
Reporter: Michael Armbrust
Today, users of pyspark (and Scala) need to manually specify the version of
Scala that their Spark installation is using when adding a Spark package to
their application. This extra configuration confusing to users who may not even
know which version of Scala they are using (for example, if they installed
Spark using {{pip}}). The confusion here is exacerbated by releases in Spark
that have changed the default from {{2.11}} -> {{2.12}} -> {{2.11}}.

Since Spark can know which version of Scala it was compiled for, we should give
users the option to automatically choose the correct version. This could be as
simple as a substitution for {{$scalaVersion}} or something when resolving a
package (similar to SBTs support for automatically handling scala dependencies).
Here are some concrete examples of users getting it wrong and getting confused:
