It uses static analysis to identify > hundreds of different potential types of errors in Java programs. > Although Spark is a Scala project, FindBugs is still helpful. For example, I > used it to find SPARK-1583 and SPARK-1589. However, the disadvantage is that > the report generated by FindBugs usually contains many false alarms for a > Scala project. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
