Typo on spark.apache.org? "cyclic data flow"
The tagline on http://spark.apache.org/ says: "Apache Spark has an advanced
DAG execution engine that supports cyclic data flow and in-memory
computing."
Isn't that supposed to be "acyclic" rather than "cyclic"?
What does it mean to support cyclic data flow anyway?

Certainly a typo -- feel free to make a PR for the spark-website repo.
(Might search for other instances of 'cyclic' too)

Hi Nicholas,
Interesting. Just on the past Monday I was introducing spark and ran into
it but thought it's my poor English skills :-) Thanks for spotting it!
(I also think that the entire welcome page begs for a face lifting - it's
from pre-2.0 days)
