Marcelo Vanzin created SPARK-6399:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Code compiled against 1.3.0 may not run against older
Spark versions
Key: SPARK-6399
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6399
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Spark Core
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin
Commit 65b987c3 re-organized the implicit conversions of RDDs so that they're
easier to use. The problem is that scalac now generates code that will not run
on older Spark versions if those conversions are used.
Basically, even if you explicitly import {{SparkContext._}}, scalac will
generate references to the new methods in the {{RDD}} object instead. So the
compiled code will reference code that doesn't exist in older versions of Spark.
You can work around this by explicitly calling the methods in the
{{SparkContext}} object, although that's a little ugly.
We should at least document this limitation (if there's no way to fix it),
since I believe forwards compatibility in the API was also a goal.
