Adam Binford commented on SPARK-47952:
--------------------------------------

We have a similar setup, currently using Livy and Zeppelin as the means of 
externally interacting with our Yarn cluster. I'm very curious to see how are 
people are using Spark Connect with Yarn, as that doesn't seem to be a common 
use case yet. I've thought about doing something similar to what you are, 
creating an intermediary management server/API for launching Spark jobs, and 
then reporting back the URL to connect to. Still just a thought in my head 
though, so definitely would be interested in any tidbits or lessons learned you 
encounter on the way

> 1.User Story:
> Our data analysts and data scientists use Jupyter notebooks provisioned on 
> Kubernetes (k8s) with limited CPU/memory resources to run Spark-shell/pyspark 
> in the terminal via Yarn Client mode. However, Yarn Client mode consumes 
> significant local memory if the job is heavy, and the total resource pool of 
> k8s for notebooks is limited. To leverage the abundant resources of our 
> Hadoop cluster for scalability purposes, we aim to utilize SparkConnect. This 
> allows the driver on Yarn with SparkConnectService started and uses 
> SparkConnect client to connect to the remote driver.
> To provide a seamless experience with one command startup for both server and 
> client, we've wrapped the following processes in one script:
> 1) Start a local coordinator server (implemented by us, not in this PR) with 
> a specified port.
> 2) Start SparkConnectServer by spark-submit via Yarn Cluster mode with 
> user-input Spark configurations and the local coordinator server's address 
> and port. Append an additional listener class in the configuration for 
> SparkConnectService callback with the actual address and port on Yarn to the 
> coordinator server.
> 3) Wait for the coordinator server to receive the address callback from the 
> SparkConnectService on Yarn and export the real address.
> 4) Start the client (pyspark --remote) with the remote address.
> Finally, a remote SparkConnect Server is started on Yarn with a local 
> SparkConnect client connected. Users no longer need to start the server 
> beforehand and connect to the remote server after they manually explore the 
> address on Yarn.
> 2.Problem statement of this change:
> 1) The specified port for the SparkConnectService GRPC server might be 
> occupied on the node of the Hadoop Cluster. To increase the success rate of 
> startup, it needs to retry on conflicts rather than fail directly.
> 2) Because the final binding port could be uncertain based on #1 and the 
> remote address is unpredictable on Yarn, we need to retrieve the address and 
> port programmatically and inject it automatically on the start of `pyspark 
> --remote`. The SparkConnectService needs to communicate its location back to 
> the launcher side.
