Hi, 

I noticed that development on this library ceased sometime around 2016. 
If I am trying to use Spark for time series prediction, what is the de-facto library as of now? 
Or, am I missing something and it is counter-intuitive to do time-series on Spark?
Thank you. 

Pier.

Hey Pier,

That's correct - this library is no longer under active development and has lots of gaping holes.

It looks like Flint (https://github.com/twosigma/flint/commits/master) has had some more recent development.

It also depends what you mean by "do time series".  If you're looking for time series statistical models, and have time series that can fit on a single machine (which I think is most time series), there's always the option of using statsmodels inside PySpark.

Thanks Sandy for the quick response, appreciate it. I’ll look into Pyspark route !
