Hi All,

It appears that HDP 2.6 will support both Spark1 and Spark2. It will allow 
these services to be installed side by side and env variables will determine 
which is used when a process that needs spark is run. 

Services have a metainfo.xml file which they can list other services which are 
required for their service to function properly. If a service required Spark 
(any version) how would they define this in the metainfo.xml file? For instance 
I wouldn’t want the following as it would imply that both Spark 1.x and Spark 
2.x had to be installed:

<requiredServices>
  <service>SPARK</service>
  <service>SPARK2</service>
</requiredServices>

I also wouldn’t want to list only one or the other because this service 
supports both versions. 

Was this addressed with newer version of Ambari or was this sort of issue 
overlooked?

Regards,
Christopher Jackson
