spark-ec2 uses this bucket to download and install HDFS on clusters. Is it owned by the Spark project or by the AMPLab? Anyway, it looks like the latest Hadoop install available on there is Hadoop 2.4.0. Are there plans to add newer versions of Hadoop for use by spark-ec2 and similar tools, or should we just be getting that stuff via an Apache mirror <http://hadoop.apache.org/releases.html>? The latest version is 2.7.1, by the way. The problem with the Apache mirrors, if I am not mistaken, is that you cannot use a single URL that automatically redirects you to a working mirror to download Hadoop. You have to pick a specific mirror and pray it doesn't disappear tomorrow. Nick
