Hi all, The patch for updating Spark to 1.5.1 also involves adding R as a dependency. R brings in 150+ packages beyond the current build requirements. (They can all be added just by installing the R package so installation is easy.)
If everyone is fine with this, I'll continue the review of Jonathan's patch and try to get that in. There are three commits -- Spark to 1.5.1, cosmetic changes, and updates to puppet. I'll leave the Puppet patch as separate since I'm not in a great position to review it. If not, do we want to disable building Spark with R for now? We could add a later patch which adds Spark R and updates the toolchain, etc. Thanks, RJ
