Patrick Wendell updated SPARK-1110: ----------------------------------- Reporter: Patrick Wendell (was: Patrick Cogan) > Clean up and clarify use of SPARK_HOME > -------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-1110 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1110 > Project: Apache Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Patrick Wendell > Assignee: Patrick Cogan > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > In the spirit of SPARK-929 we should clean up the use of SPARK_HOME and, if > possible, remove it entirely. > We need to look through what this is used for. One use was allowing > applications to run different versions of Spark in standalone mode. For > instance, someone could submit an application with a custom SPARK_HOME and > the Worker would launch an Executor using a different path for Spark. This > use case is not widely used and maybe should just be removed. > The existing constructors that take SPARK_HOME for this purpose should be > deprecated and we should explain that SPARK_HOME is no longer used for this > purpose. > If there are other legitimate reasons for SPARK_HOME, we can keep it > around... we need to audit the uses of it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
