To run a Spark application against the cluster, when you create your `SparkContext`, pass the string `mesos://HOST:PORT` as the master URL. In addition, you'll need to set the `spark.executor.uri` property, and other properties for Mesos. For example: {% highlight scala %} val conf = new SparkConf() .setMaster("mesos://HOST:5050") .setAppName("My app") .set("spark.executor.uri", "<path to spark-{{site.SPARK_VERSION}}.tar.gz uploaded above>") + .set("spark.mesos.role", "spark") + .set("spark.mesos.checkpoint", "true")) --- End diff -- It might be better to leave these out of the example and add a section on "Mesos Configuration Properties" later in the doc. Otherwise users could accidentally copy this sample code and end up with something with checkpoint set to true that does not accept any resources.
