Matei Zaharia commented on SPARK-3215:
--------------------------------------
With SparkConf, the problem is that some of the options won't apply here. For
example, while a Spark app is running, you can't change the spilling options,
or the executor memory, or stuff like that. I think people will find that
confusing.
> Add remote interface for SparkContext
> -------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-3215
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3215
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Spark Core
> Reporter: Marcelo Vanzin
> Labels: hive
> Attachments: RemoteSparkContext.pdf
>
>
> A quick description of the issue: as part of running Hive jobs on top of
> Spark, it's desirable to have a SparkContext that is running in the
> background and listening for job requests for a particular user session.
> Running multiple contexts in the same JVM is not a very good solution. Not
> only SparkContext currently has issues sharing the same JVM among multiple
> instances, but that turns the JVM running the contexts into a huge bottleneck
> in the system.
> So I'm proposing a solution where we have a SparkContext that is running in a
> separate process, and listening for requests from the client application via
> some RPC interface (most probably Akka).
> I'll attach a document shortly with the current proposal. Let's use this bug
> to discuss the proposal and any other suggestions.
