Hi all,

The patch under review for updating Spark adds the LPGL-licensed Ganglia
client to the default build:

https://github.com/apache/bigtop/pull/43/files#diff-b1c0f6f3b70f642daa39c5e2b612c530R32

My understanding is that GPL/LGPL code is generally bad.  How do we want to
handle this?  Just ask Jonathan to remove the Ganglia client from the build
(which is the default way Spark is built)?  Or, do we want to follow
Spark's example and enable Ganglia as an optional build option?

The appropriate Spark JIRA is here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1167

Thanks,
RJ
