 # Building Spark for Hadoop/YARN 2.2.x
 
-Hadoop 2.2.x users must build Spark and publish it locally. The SBT build process handles Hadoop 2.2.x as a special case. This version of Hadoop has new YARN API changes and depends on a Protobuf version (2.5) that is not compatible with the Akka version (2.0.5) that Spark uses. Therefore, if the Hadoop version (e.g. set through ```SPARK_HADOOP_VERSION```) starts with 2.2.0 or higher then the build process will depend on Akka artifacts distributed by the Spark project compatible with Protobuf 2.5. Furthermore, the build process then uses the directory ```new-yarn``` (instead of ```yarn```), which supports the new YARN API. The build process should seamlessly work out of the box.
