Marcelo Vanzin commented on SPARK-7504:
---------------------------------------
If I understand correctly, what you're doing is running the equivalent of this
in you code, right:
{code}
new SparkContext(new SparkConf().set("spark.master", "yarn-cluster"))
{code}
That's not really supported, since that will not work in yarn-cluster mode,
even if the ApplicationMaster launches successfully. I also took a look at your
PR and that won't help. The fix here, if any, is to not allow the above code to
work by throwing an exception early.

> Key: SPARK-7504
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7504
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Deploy, YARN
> Reporter: Zoltán Zvara
> Labels: deployment, yarn, yarn-client
>
> It is not clear for most users that, while running Spark on YARN a
> {{SparkContext}} with a given execution plan can be run locally as
> {{yarn-client}}, but can not deploy itself to the cluster. This is currently
> performed using {{org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.Client}}. {color:gray} I think
> we should support deployment through {{SparkContext}}, but this is not the
> point I wish to make here. {color}
> Configuring a {{SparkContext}} to deploy itself currently will yield an
> {{ERROR}} while accessing {{spark.yarn.app.id}} in
> {{YarnClusterSchedulerBackend}}, and after that a {{NullPointerException}}
> while referencing the {{ApplicationMaster}} instance.
> Spark should clearly inform the user that it might be running in
> {{yarn-cluster}} mode without a proper submission using {{Client}} and that
> deploying is not supported directly from {{SparkContext}}.
