Binary distributions can be downloaded from the [downloads page](https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html) of the project website. +There are two variants of Spark binary distributions you can download. One is pre-built with a certain +version of Apache Hadoop; this Spark distribution contains built-in Hadoop runtime, so we call it `with-hadoop` Spark +distribution. The other one is pre-built with user-provided Hadoop; since this Spark distribution +doesn't contain a built-in Hadoop runtime, it's smaller, but users have to provide a Hadoop installation separately. +We call this variant `no-hadoop` Spark distribution. For `with-hadoop` Spark distribution, since +it contains a built-in Hadoop runtime already, by default, when a job is submitted to Hadoop Yarn cluster, to prevent jar conflict, it will not +populate Yarn's classpath into Spark. To override this behavior, you can set <code>spark.yarn.populateHadoopClasspath=true</code>. +For `no-hadoop` Spark distribution, Spark will populate Yarn's classpath by default in order to get Hadoop runtime. Note that some features such +as Hive support are not available in `no-hadoop` Spark distribution. For `with-hadoop` Spark distribution, Review comment: Maybe I'm wrong, but I got the impression from @dongjoon-hyun that no-hadoop Spark distribution doesn't support Hive. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
