Josh Rosen updated SPARK-2110:
------------------------------

          Component/s: PySpark
                       Documentation
             Priority: Blocker  (was: Major)
     Target Version/s: 1.1.0
    Affects Version/s: 1.1.0

I was just affected by this issue, too, and found it really confusing.

I launched a new Spark EC2 cluster and tried to launch a PySpark shell in 
{{local}} mode using the command {{./bin/pyspark \-\-master local}}, which 
makes sense after reading the current {{\-\-help}}.  The {{\-\-master}} option 
seems to be ignored here; it seems that the only way to use a different master 
is to add {{spark.master local}} to my SparkConf file.

This is a regression from 1.02 since it  breaks the pyspark shell examples in 
the documentation (Spark Programming Guide).  To reproduce the problem locally 
with 1.1.0-snapshot1, try running {{./bin/pyspark --master 
local-cluster\[2,2,512\]}}; you'll see that no extra executors are started 
because the option is ignored, so we end up running in local mode.
