I'm interested in learning Spark, but I'm of the impression that it would be better to focus on learning based upon Spark 2, instead of Spark 1.x.  

Spark 1.6 is part of the current Quickstart VM (v5.12), but I was wondering if it was possible to install Spark 2 instead?  I migrated to Parcels and enabled Cloudera Manager on the Quickstart VM, but I don't see Spark 2. 

Is there a way of installing Spark 2 on the Quickstart VM?
