[jira] [Comment Edited] (SPARK-16864) Comprehensive version info

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16864?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15410238#comment-15410238 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, git commit is relevant to applications at runtime as long as the subject for an application (in any dimension) is spark itself. I don't understand why that info would not be included. This may not be a problem for people who build from source, they can eventually put that metadata in plaintext file (still an overhead). The bigger problem is for those who grab binaries and for example just want to track performance in their cluster over spark git history. Git commit hash is a natural key for a source code of a project, you won't find better field to reference source code. Referencing release version is a different thing.

> Spark versions can be grepped out of the Spark banner that comes up on startup, but otherwise, there is no programmatic/reliable way to get version information.
> Also there is no git commit id, etc.  So precise version checking isnt possible.
