Please correct me if I’m wrong but I was under the impression as per the maven repositories that it was just to stay more in sync with the various version of Hadoop. Looking at the latest documentation (https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-with-maven.html), there are multiple Hadoop versions called out.
As for the potential differences in Spark, this is more about ensuring the various jars and library dependencies of the correct version of Hadoop are included so there can be proper connectivity to Hadoop from Spark vs. any differences in Spark itself. Another good reference on this topic is call out for Hadoop versions within github: https://github.com/apache/spark HTH!

I raise the question because in Spark 1.0.2, I saw one binary package for hadoop2, but in Spark 1.1.0, there are separate packages for hadoop 2.3 and 2.4. That implies some difference in Spark according to hadoop version.

I’m not sure if I’m completely answering your question here but I’m currently working (on OSX) with Hadoop 2.5 and I used the Spark 1.1 with Hadoop 2.4 without any issues.
