Zeppelin 0.9.0 Support

EEP 6.4.0 includes Zeppelin 0.9.0, which is now offered as an RPM or DEB package in the ecosystem pack. Previous releases of Zeppelin consisted of a Docker container, which was offered as part of the Data Science Refinery (DSR) product in releases 6.0.0 and later. As indicated in Discontinued Ecosystem Components, support for DSR is discontinued. Note that upgrades from the Docker-image based Zeppelin product to the package-based Zeppelin product are not supported.

In addition, the package-based Zeppelin must be installed using manual steps. You cannot install Zeppelin by using the Installer.
