which scheduler is in use and how it is configured.
    -- In `yarn-cluster` mode, the local directories used by the Spark 
executors and the Spark driver will be the local directories configured for 
YARN (Hadoop YARN config `yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs`). If the user specifies 
`spark.local.dir`, it will be ignored. In `yarn-client` mode, the Spark 
executors will use the local directories configured for YARN while the Spark 
driver will use those defined in `spark.local.dir`. This is because the Spark 
driver does not run on the YARN cluster in `yarn-client` mode, only the Spark 
executors do.
