> Key: SPARK-58101
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-58101
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task

> Affects Versions: kubernetes-operator-0.9.0

> [examples/spark-connect-server-with-spark-cluster.yaml|https://github.com/apache/spark-kubernetes-operator/blob/main/examples/spark-connect-server-with-spark-cluster.yaml] declares
> {{spark.submit.deployMode=cluster}} for a {{SparkApplication}} whose main class is {{org.apache.spark.sql.connect.service.SparkConnectServer}}, attached to a standalone {{SparkCluster}} master.
> However, the operator runs the main class inside the driver pod it manages, so the application effectively runs in *client mode regardless of this setting* (verified on-cluster with operator 0.9.0 / chart 1.7.0,
> Spark 4.1.2: runtime behavior is identical with {{deployMode}} set to {{cluster}} and {{client}}). Upstream {{SparkSubmit}} also explicitly rejects cluster deploy mode for the Connect server ({{"Cluster deploy mode
> is not applicable to Spark Connect server"}}), so the example implies a capability that doesn't exist and a user copying it will silently get client mode.
> Note this is distinct from {{examples/submit-spark-connect-server.sh}} (SPARK-51382), which submits via the standalone REST API on port 6066 and bypasses the SparkSubmit-side check, so that path is not affected.
> Proposals (any of):
> # Remove the {{spark.submit.deployMode}} line from the example, or
> # Add a comment clarifying that the operator runs the Connect server in client mode regardless, or
> # Have the operator warn or reject when cluster deploy mode is declared for a Connect server.
