Marcelo Vanzin commented on SPARK-5293: --------------------------------------- I converted this bug to an umbrella so that it's easier to track sub-tasks. Hope that's ok for everybody. > Enable Spark user applications to use different versions of Akka > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-5293 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5293 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Umbrella > Components: Spark Core > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Reynold Xin > > A lot of Spark user applications are using (or want to use) Akka. Akka as a > whole can contribute great architectural simplicity and uniformity. However, > because Spark depends on Akka, it is not possible for users to rely on > different versions, and we have received many requests in the past asking for > help about this specific issue. For example, Spark Streaming might be used as > the receiver of Akka messages - but our dependency on Akka requires the > upstream Akka actors to also use the identical version of Akka. > Since our usage of Akka is limited (mainly for RPC and single-threaded event > loop), we can replace it with alternative RPC implementations and a common > event loop in Spark. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
