SPARK-964 & related issues

[Heiko Braun <ik...@googlemail.com>]

Hi everybody, 
two questions, somehow related to the discussion about JDK 8 support [1].

- Has support for Spores [2] been considered/discussed already?
- Scala 2.11 is due in the next few month [3]. Would this be a reasonable target version for spark 1.0?

As far as I know, both JDK 8 support and Spores should become part of scala 2.11.

Regards, Heiko

Hi,

Well in the context of only JDK8 support, there is actually no need to
migrate to Scala 2.11 or JDK 8 itself. The trick is to use Interfaces
instead of AbstractClasses for accepting functions.
