I got an error like "EOL/Obsolete Software: Apache Spark 2.4 Detected." What can I do?

This means your project is using Apache Spark 2.4, which reached end-of-life in 2021 and no longer receives official security patches or updates. HeroDevs NES for Apache Spark delivers long-term support, security updates, and compatibility fixes—so your data pipelines and analytics workloads remain secure and stable. Contact our sales team to learn more.

What are the benefits of using NES for Apache Spark?

NES for Apache Spark provides peace of mind by ensuring that your applications remain secure and compliant. It allows developers to focus on building features rather than worrying about potential issues arising from using an unsupported version. It also offers enterprise security patching, compliance readiness, application stability, drop-in replacement, and dedicated expert support.

Should I migrate away from Apache Spark?

It depends on your organization's long-term plans and budget. Migrating to another framework requires a complete upgrade and potentially major re-architecting. NES for Apache Spark allows you to stay secure and compliant while buying time for a strategic transition.

What happens if we do nothing now that Apache Spark is end-of-life?

Without security patches, your Spark applications face increasing vulnerabilities in its components, potentially compromising your data processing and analytics infrastructure and exposing sensitive information. As new exploits emerge, your applications become increasingly vulnerable.

How does NES for Apache Spark compare to rebuilding with modern data processing tooling?

Rebuilding with modern frameworks typically costs 4-8x more than implementing NES, requires 6-12 months of development time, and risks disrupting critical workflows. NES provides immediate security while allowing you to plan migration strategically.

How hard is it to switch to NES for Apache Spark?

Switching to NES for Apache Spark is seamless and requires no major or breaking changes. Installation involves updating your build dependencies to point to HeroDevs' secure private repository. Once installed, you start receiving security patches for EOL Spark immediately.

What happens now that Apache Spark is end-of-life?

If your application relies on EOL Apache Spark versions, it will no longer receive security patches, bug fixes, or compliance updates from the open-source community. This leads to risks such as unpatched vulnerabilities, non-compliance, increased internal maintenance burden, and potential performance issues. NES ensures you can continue using Spark securely.

Can I get Apache Spark security patches anywhere else?

No. Once Apache Spark versions reach EOL, they no longer receive updates from the Spark community. HeroDevs’ NES for Apache Spark is the only long-term support solution providing security patches, compliance assurances, and expert support.
