Brane, Spark already has limited Scala 2.11 support. http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-spark.html#building-for-scala-211 Spark has problems with third party libs: "Scala 2.11 support in Spark does not support a few features due to dependencies which are themselves not Scala 2.11 ready. Specifically, Spark’s external Kafka library and JDBC component are not yet supported in Scala 2.11 builds."
