That's a good point about Oozie does only supporting only Spark 1 or 2 at a time on a cluster -- but do we know people using Oozie and Spark 1 that would still be using Spark 1 by the time of the next BEAM release? The last Spark 1 release was a year ago (and last non-maintenance release almost 20 months ago).
