Waiting for this release on EMR. Lots of feature updates that we want to use in our production pipelines.

I need Spark 1.5.x support on EMR 4.x asap.

Same here! Spark 1.5 + EMR is gonna be the best! :)

Maybe someone can fork it and add support for 1.5?

It seems that we only needed small changes in Spark itself to make 1.4.1 work on EMR:
apache/spark@branch-1.4...christopherbozeman:bozemanc-v1.4.0.

Is this true for all previous releases?
