Announcing Spark Packages
Dear Spark users and developers, I’m happy to announce Spark Packages (http://spark-packages.org), a community package index to track the growing number of open source packages and libraries that work with Apache Spark. Spark Packages makes it easy for users to find, discuss, rate, and install packages for any version of Spark, and makes it easy for developers to contribute packages. Spark Packages will feature integrations with various data sources, management tools, higher level domain-specific libraries, machine learning algorithms, code samples, and other Spark content. Thanks to the package authors, the initial listing of packages includes scientific computing libraries, a job execution server, a connector for importing Avro data, tools for launching Spark on Google Compute Engine, and many others. I’d like to invite you to contribute and use Spark Packages and provide feedback! As a disclaimer: Spark Packages is a community index maintained by Databricks and (by design) will include packages outside of the ASF Spark project. We are excited to help showcase and support all of the great work going on in the broader Spark community!

Hi Xiangrui, That link is currently returning a 503 Over Quota error message. Would you mind pinging back out when the page is back up? Thanks!

Xiangrui asked me to report that it's back and running :) On Mon, Dec 22, 2014 at 3:21 PM, peng pc...@uowmail.edu.au wrote: Me 2 :) On 12/22/2014 06:14 PM, Andrew Ash wrote: Hi Xiangrui, That link is currently returning a 503 Over Quota error message.

Re: Announcing Spark Packages
Hello Xiangrui, If you have not already done so, you should look at http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/#domains for the policy on use of ASF trademarked terms in domain names. thanks — Hitesh On Dec 22, 2014, at 12:37 PM, Xiangrui Meng men...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Spark users and developers, I’m happy to announce Spark Packages (http://spark-packages.org), a community package index to track the growing number of open source packages and libraries that work with Apache Spark.

Re: Announcing Spark Packages
Hey Nick, I think Hitesh was just trying to be helpful and point out the policy - not necessarily saying there was an issue. We've taken a close look at this and I think we're in good shape her vis-a-vis this policy. - Patrick On Mon, Dec 22, 2014 at 5:29 PM, Nicholas Chammas nicholas.cham...@gmail.com wrote: Hitesh, From your link: You may not use ASF trademarks such as Apache or ApacheFoo or Foo in your own domain names if that use would be likely to confuse a relevant consumer about the source of software or services provided through your website, without written approval of the VP, Apache Brand Management or designee. The title on the packages website is A community index of packages for Apache Spark. Furthermore, the footnote of the website reads Spark Packages is a community site hosting modules that are not part of Apache Spark. I think there's nothing on there that would confuse a relevant consumer about the source of software. It's pretty clear that the Spark Packages name is well within the ASF's guidelines. Have I misunderstood the ASF's policy?

Okie doke! (I just assumed there was an issue since the policy was brought up.)
