Apache Spark is a very popular Big Data processing engine. The latest release, on 2nd Oct 2015, was 1.5.1, but we still have 1.2.0 in FreeBSD ports. There have been important improvements in between, for instance spark data frames in 1.3.0 (https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.3.0/sql-programming-guide.html#upgrading-from-spark-sql-10-12-to-13). Besides, the port depends on devel/hadoop2 which is currently 2.7.1, but devel/spark/Makefile explicitly hardcodes 2.4.1 as hadoop version. Maybe we should catch-up with hadoop. Thank you very much.
Port was updated.
Thank you very much, Dmitry. Much appreciated!
