XGBoost4J-Spark now requires Spark 2.3+. Latest versions of XGBoost4J-Spark uses facilities of `org.apache.spark.ml.param.shared` extensively to provide for a tight integration with Spark MLLIB framework, and these facilities are not fully available on earlier versions of Spark.

.. note:: Use of Python in XGBoost4J-Spark

By default, we use the tracker in `dmlc-core <https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core/tree/master/tracker>`_ to drive the training with XGBoost4J-Spark. It requires Python 2.7+. We also have an experimental Scala version of tracker which can be enabled by passing the parameter ``tracker_conf`` as ``scala``.
