Josh Rosen commented on SPARK-922:
----------------------------------
I chatted with someone who had a job that ran ~20x slower on Python 2.6 than on
2.7, likely due to changes to the json library (in 2.7+, json is implemented as
a C extension rather than in pure-Python). Maybe we should add a note on this
to the docs.
