Mark spark dependencies as provided

Currently this library depends on spark 2.4.4 which will obviously conflict with older versions of spark (and will render applications unusable). Please, mark spark dependencies as provided.

Hi team, any update on this issue?

[AbhiPrasad]

Hey, I am currently unavailable due to some personal reasons, so it will take a bit for me to get to this issue and the open PRs. Stay tuned, I'll definitely address this when I get back!

@AbhiPrasad Good to hear! Thx!

[AbhiPrasad]

PR #7 was merged in (addressing this issue), and alpha05 should be released soon. Thanks again for you patience with this.

Hi there, any plans on when alpha-05 will be released?

[AbhiPrasad]

Hey, unfortunately this release was unable to happen - and there's probably no resources on our end to continue to support this. I'm going to archive this repo as a result, but folks are free to fork this and take a look!
