Ah, I see what you mean. I don't see a clean way to make "--name" work in
client mode; SparkSubmit could call System.setProperty("spark.app.name"), but
that (i) looks hacky and (ii) might be overriden by the application when it
sets the app name in SparkConf.
Maybe stash that value somewhere else and check it in the code my patch is
touching? It's less hacky in that it would allow overriding the SparkConf
value, but still kinda ugly.
