It might be worth noting that the Apache Metron page is somewhat guilty of this, as well. In their quickstart guide, they advertise a VirtualBox VM loaded with HDP: http://metron.apache.org/documentation/
Their installation documentation also seems to indicate that they only work with HDP 2.4: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Metron+Installation+on+an+Ambari-Managed+Cluster If there's action to be taken with the Spot website, it may be worthwhile to point the same thing out to the Metron community.
