             Summary: Deprecate embedded mode in IgniteRDD
                 Key: IGNITE-7092
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-7092
             Project: Ignite
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: spark
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Valentin Kulichenko
            Assignee: Valentin Kulichenko
             Fix For: 2.4


Currently we claim to support IgniteRDD in two modes: standalone and embedded. 
Standalone means there is a separately running Ignite cluster, and Spark start 
client node(s) to interact with it. In embedded node everything runs within 
Spark, including Ignite server nodes that are started embedded into Spark 
executors.

The latter case doesn't really work, mainly because the lifecycle of Spark 
executors is not very predictable - Spark can start and stop them while 
application is running. In case Ignite cluster is used to store data (which is 
usually the case), this causes unnecessary rebalancing or even unexpected data 
loss.

I propose to deprecate and eventually discontinue the embedded mode. Luckily, 
standalone mode is the default one, so we can simply print out a clear warning 
if one switches to embedded mode, and also mention this in the docs.
