- Remove Akka dependency from core. Note: the streaming-akka project still uses Akka.
- Remove HttpFileServer
- Remove Akka configs from SparkConf and SSLOptions
- Rename `spark.akka.frameSize` to `spark.rpc.message.maxSize`. I think it's still worth to keep this config because using `DirectTaskResult` or `IndirectTaskResult`  depends on it.
- Update comments and docs

0b2fb9d [Peter Parente] [SPARK-6343] Doc driver-worker network reqs

This is a fairly large PR to clean up and update the docs for 1.0. The major changes are:

* A unified programming guide for all languages replaces language-specific ones and shows language-specific info in tabs
* New programming guide sections on key-value pairs, unit testing, input formats beyond text, migrating from 0.9, and passing functions to Spark
* Spark-submit guide moved to a separate page and expanded slightly
* Various cleanups of the menu system, security docs, and others
* Updated look of title bar to differentiate the docs from previous Spark versions

You can find the updated docs at http://people.apache.org/~matei/1.0-docs/_site/ and in particular http://people.apache.org/~matei/1.0-docs/_site/programming-guide.html.

YARN
- SparkPi was updated to not take in master as an argument; we should update the docs to reflect that.
- The default YARN build guide should be in maven, not sbt.
- This PR also adds a paragraph on steps to debug a YARN application.

Standalone
- Emphasize spark-submit more. Right now it's one small paragraph preceding the legacy way of launching through `org.apache.spark.deploy.Client`.
- The way we set configurations / environment variables according to the old docs is outdated. This needs to reflect changes introduced by the Spark configuration changes we made.

In general, this PR also adds a little more documentation on the new spark-shell, spark-submit, spark-defaults.conf etc here and there.

While play-testing the Scala and Java code examples in the MLlib docs, I noticed a number of small compile errors, and some typos. This led to finding and fixing a few similar items in other docs.

Then in the course of building the site docs to check the result, I found a few small suggestions for the build instructions. I also found a few more formatting and markdown issues uncovered when I accidentally used maruku instead of kramdown.

bc48139 [Patrick Wendell] SPARK-1606: Infer user application arguments instead of requiring --arg.

Over time as we've added more deployment modes, this have gotten a bit unwieldy with user-facing configuration options in Spark. Going forward we'll advise all users to run `spark-submit` to launch applications. This is a WIP patch but it makes the following improvements:

1. Improved `spark-env.sh.template` which was missing a lot of things users now set in that file.
2. Removes the shipping of SPARK_CLASSPATH, SPARK_JAVA_OPTS, and SPARK_LIBRARY_PATH to the executors on the cluster. This was an ugly hack. Instead it introduces config variables spark.executor.extraJavaOpts, spark.executor.extraLibraryPath, and spark.executor.extraClassPath.
3. Adds ability to set these same variables for the driver using `spark-submit`.
4. Allows you to load system properties from a `spark-defaults.conf` file when running `spark-submit`. This will allow setting both SparkConf options and other system properties utilized by `spark-submit`.
5. Made `SPARK_LOCAL_IP` an environment variable rather than a SparkConf property. This is more consistent with it being set on each node.

5fbf1e9 [Sandy Ryza] SPARK-1375. Additional spark-submit cleanup

This is a starting version of the spark-app script for running compiled binaries against Spark.  It still needs tests and some polish.  The only testing I've done so far has been using it to launch jobs in yarn-standalone mode against a pseudo-distributed cluster.

This leaves out the changes required for launching python scripts.  I think it might be best to save those for another JIRA/PR (while keeping to the design so that they won't require backwards-incompatible changes).
