Description

Older versions of Spark needed Scala to be installed separately but not anymore. For a while, Spark and Kafka have pulled down a copy of the Scala compiler and libraries through Maven – BigPetStore does the same through the Groovy Scala plugin.

We may be able to drop the Scala installation in the Bigtop toolchain. We should investigate this.
