However, I’m unable to find a location for the actual download of the 2.7.0 release. On the official download page it’s still the 2.6.3 version listed. Does anyone have a link to spare for the updated Spark download?
This date is only the planned date for release, but no release was actually done (i have already informed project lead to push that date further). Meanwhile if you don’t mind nightly builds, you can use one. It will have Java 7 and other fixes.
