Github user felixcheung commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/710#issuecomment-185425799 Let's merge this if no more discussion. At least we could isolate download or spark start failure with this change. As for container base I could investigate that further. There is one pending PR that is including sudo commands though that would not work with it.
