Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/615#issuecomment-35581271 @sryza - I don't think this is relevant to the YARN codepath. AFAIK YARN doesn't use the ./spark-class script to launch the YARN application master (which embeds the driver program). I'm not totally sure how that JVM is actually launched though... couldn't figure it out on a quick glance at that code.
