Felix Cheung commented on SPARK-18810: -------------------------------------- I've found the same issue while testing as well, and was going to propose a change to support this. Essentially for snapshot and RC build, since the jar is not on the Apache mirror, install.spark is unable to download it. We need to have a way to override the url (details: as it is constructing the url from a base url and a version path, it is expecting the source as a certain directory structure - currently this structure does not match how the snapshot and RC build are published, so we need a way to override the entire url) I propose we have an environment variable instead of a parameter since we want to be able to run everything the same way without having to make code changes. > SparkR install.spark does not work for RCs, snapshots > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-18810 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18810 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SparkR > Affects Versions: 2.0.2, 2.1.0 > Reporter: Shivaram Venkataraman > > We publish source archives of the SparkR package now in RCs and in nightly > snapshot builds.
