Not a programming question, but can someone enlighten me as to why Cloudera still only offer SPARK 1.6 on their Quickstart VM? What is the value of this when people download this for educational purposes. And they use Java 1.7 still.
There is little reason to maintain 1.6 as the Cloudera Quickstart VM distribution.
Trying to install SPARK 2.2 gave all sorts of issues.
I am now using mapR v6 Sandbox that has this standardly but not IMPALA. My days with cloudera quickstart vm are behind me.
