We are not removing Akka or considering removing Akka yet. It is just
building it in a way that we can remove the dependency if we want to in the
future. If we do consider, we will definitely have a broader discussion. If we
ever do that, it'd be for making networking easier (both debugging and
deployment), and enabling our users to use Akka (using Akka, especially a
different version of it for an app on top of Spark is a mess right now. Spark
not depending on Akka will make it easier for applications on top of Spark to
use Akka).
