Hi All,
A consistent piece of feedback from Spark developers has been that the
Maven build is very slow. Typesafe provides a tool called Zinc which
improves Scala complication speed substantially with Maven, but is
difficult to install and configure, especially for platforms other
than Mac OS.
Linkies for the curious:
- SPARK-4501 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4501: Create
build/mvn to automatically download maven/zinc/scalac
- https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/3707
- New build folder (mvn and sbt):
https://github.com/apache/spark/tree/master/build
