Github user tgravescs commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/969#issuecomment-46324631 note I think it woudl be easiest just to have YarnClientSchedulerBackend ignore the configs spark.yarn.dist.archives/spark.yarn.dist.files and only do the backwards compatibility for the ENV variables. Then your changes to clientArguments would handle calling resolveURI on them.
