> don't use term 'standalone' to refer to a Spark Application
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-1307
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1307
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Diana Carroll
>
> In the "Quick Start Guide" for Scala, there are three sections entitled "A Standalone App in Scala", "A Standalone App in Java" and "A Standalone App in Python."
> In these sections, the word "standalone" is meant to refer to a Spark application that is run outside of the Spark Shell. This nomenclature is quite confusing, because the cluster management framework included in Spark is called "Spark Standalone"...this overlap of terms has resulted in at least one person (me) think that a "standalone app" was somehow related to a "standalone cluster"...and that in order to run my app on a Standalone Spark cluster, I had to write follow the instructions to write a Standalone app.
> Fortunately, the only place I can find this usage of "standalone" to refer to an application is on the Quick Start page. I think those three sections should instead be retitled as
> Writing a Spark Application in Scala
> Writing a Spark Application in Java
> Writing a Spark Application in Python
> and rephrased to remove the use of the term "standalone".
