Spark 2.x when being used for Java 11 gives below error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported class file major version 55
Does Spark 3.0 has this compatibility with Java 11?
Is there any another workaround to use Java 11 with Spark?
From Spark 3 documentation:
Spark runs on Java 8/11, Scala 2.12, Python 2.7+/3.4+ and R 3.1+. Java 8 prior to version 8u92 support is deprecated as of Spark 3.0.0. Python 2 and Python 3 prior to version 3.6 support is deprecated as of Spark 3.0.0. R prior to version 3.4 support is deprecated as of Spark 3.0.0. For the Scala API, Spark 3.0.0 uses Scala 2.12. You will need to use a compatible Scala version (2.12.x).
So Spark 3.x works with Java11, Spark 2.x does not as pointed out in this answer.
