@Sean Owen <sro...@gmail.com>， I'm afraid I don't agree with you this time, I still remember no one can tell me whether Spark supports ARM or how much Spark can support ARM when I asked this first time on Dev@, you're very kind and told me to build and test on ARM locally and so sorry I think you were not sure much about this at that moment, right? Then I and my team work with community, we found/fixed several issues, integrate arm jobs into AMPLAB Jenkins, and the daily jobs has been stablely running for few weeks... after these efforts why not announce this officially in Spark releasenote? I believe after this everyone will know Spark is fully testing on ARM on community CI, Spark supports ARM basically, it's amazing and this will be very helpful. So what do you think? Or what are you worrying about?
