spark-notebook deployment on Mesosphere crashes

[armen donigian]

I installed spark-notebook using dcos https://github.com/andypetrella/spark-notebook#spark-notebook-3

But the app deployment failed on slave sandbox due to:

Registered executor on ip-x-x-x-x.us-west-2.compute.internal
Starting task spark-notebook.82af561f-9527-11e5-b2d9-0242eb02f7e1

What is the best way to resolve this? I think it's due to the jre1.7.0_76 reference. 

The public slave node java version is:

~ $ java -version
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

 The public slave node $JAVA_HOME is:

~ $ echo $JAVA_HOME
