--- Comment #5 from Dmitry Sivachenko <demon at FreeBSD.org> ---
Few comments on port:
1) I find 1-screen sized copyright in startup scripts redundant, no other ports
include them.
2) JAVA_VENDOR, HAVA_VERSION variables in startup scripts are not used and not
needed
3) Hardcoded "/usr/local/share/spark/sbin" in start_worker.in
4) Extra dependency on sbt which is not needed, there is a documented procedure
of building spark with maven:
https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.1.0/building-with-maven.html
5) hadoop is runtime dependency, so no need to list it as LIB_DEPENDS
6) Daemons do not require root privileges to run, so it is better to use
separate pseudo-user to start them.
7) It is wise to pre-build maven dependencies and fetch them as tar-file, so
build cluster does not download 250MB on each build.

I created the same port independently (did not noticed your submission), so I
attach my work here for reference.  I don't really care whose version will be
committed, just want the port to be in good shape before this happens.
