Hi Spark team, I totally agree with Paul. Spark it's an amazing tool and there are not real competitors around. So, I definitely agree on the need to keep a bit more up to date with the Scala world, and not only Scala 2.10 but also a more recent version of Akka for example. Anyway, really thanks for the great job you're doing!
