M. Le Bihan updated SPARK-26296:
--------------------------------
Description:
I am not using _Scala_ when I am programming _Spark_ but plain _Java_. I
believe those using _PySpark_ no more.
But _Spark_ has been build over _Scala_ instead of plain _Java_ and this is a
cause of troubles, especially at the time of upgrading the JDK. We are awaiting
to use JDK 11 and [Scala is still lowering Spark in the previous version of the
JDK|https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/jdk-compatibility/overview.html].
_Big Data_ programming shall not force developpers to get by with _Scala_ when
its not the language they have choosen.
Having a _Spark_ without _Scala_, like it is possible to have a _Spark_ without
_Hadoop,_ would confort me : a cause of issues would disappear.
Provide an optional _spark-scala_ artifact would be fine as those who do not
need it wouldn't download it and wouldn't be affected by it.
