--------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, git commit is relevant to applications at runtime as long as the subject 
for an application (in any dimension) is spark itself. I don't understand why 
that info would not be included. This may not be a problem for people who build 
from source, they can eventually put that metadata in plaintext file (still an 
overhead). The bigger problem is for those who grab binaries and for example 
just want to track performance in their cluster over spark git history. Git 
commit hash is a natural key for a source code of a project, you won't find 
better field to reference source code. Referencing release version is a 
different thing.

> Spark versions can be grepped out of the Spark banner that comes up on

> information.
> Also there is no git commit id, etc.  So precise version checking isnt
