Hi Vikram, We use Azkaban (2.5.0) in our production workflow scheduling. We just use local mode deployment and it is fairly easy to set up. It is pretty easy to use and has a nice scheduling and logging interface, as well as SLAs (like kill job and notify if it doesn't complete in 3 hours or whatever).
However Spark support is not present directly - we run everything with shell scripts and spark-submit. There is a plugin interface where one could create a Spark plugin, but I found it very cumbersome when I did investigate and didn't have the time to work through it to develop that. It has some quirks and while there is actually a REST API for adding jos and dynamically scheduling jobs, it is not documented anywhere so you kinda have to figure it out for yourself. But in terms of ease of use I found it way better than Oozie. I haven't tried Chronos, and it seemed quite involved to set up. Haven't tried Luigi either. Spark job server is good but as you say lacks some stuff like scheduling and DAG type workflows (independent of spark-defined job flows).
