AWS EMR 5.0 ships with Spark: Spark 2.0.0 on Hadoop 2.7.2 YARN with Ganglia 3.7.2 and Zeppelin 0.6.1
prepackaged, but Zeppelin 0.6.1 only support Spark 1.6.x. Is there a way to address the version discrepancy without building and deploying a custom version of Zeppelin?
This is not true. Zeppelin 0.6.1 was the first version that does work with Spark 2.0.0.
