>                 Key: SPARK-16501
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16501
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Spark Submit, Web UI
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
>            Reporter: Eric Daniel

> There are two related problems with spark.mesos.secret:
> 1) The web UI shows its value in the "environment" tab
> 2) Passing it as a command-line option to spark-submit (or creating a SparkContext from python, with the effect of launching spark-submit)  exposes it to "ps"
> I'll be happy to submit a patch but I could use some advice first.
> The first problem is easy enough, just don't show that value in the UI
> For the second problem, I'm not sure what the best solution is. A "spark.mesos.secret-file" parameter would let the user store the secret in a non-world-readable file. Alternatively, the mesos secret could be obtained from the environment, which other users don't have access to.  Either solution would work in client mode, but I don't know if they're workable in cluster mode.
