In my experience, Standalone works very well in small cluster where there isn’t anything else running.
Bigger cluster or shared resources, YARN takes a win, surpassing the overhead of spawning containers as opposed to a background running worker. Best is if you try both, if standalone is good enough keep it till you need more. Otherwise, try YARN or MESOS depending on the rest of your components. 2cents Saif From: kant kodali [mailto:kanth...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 16, 2016 3:14 AM To: user @spark Subject: Do we really need mesos or yarn? or is standalone sufficent? Do we really need mesos or yarn? or is standalone sufficient for production systems? I understand the difference but I don't know the capabilities of standalone cluster. does anyone have experience deploying standalone in the production?
