>                 Key: SPARK-9284
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9284
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Tests

>            Assignee: Apache Spark
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Some tests - in particular tests that have to spawn child processes - currently rely on the generated Spark assembly to run properly.
> This is sub-optimal for a few reasons:
> - Users have to use an unnatural "package everything first, then run tests" approach
> - Sometimes tests are run using old code because the user forgot to rebuild the assembly
> The latter is particularly annoying in {{YarnClusterSuite}}. If you modify some code outside of the {{yarn/}} module, you have to rebuild the whole assembly before that test picks it up.
> We should make all tests run without the need to have an assembly around, making sure that they always pick up the latest code compiled by the user.
