System.exit in local mode ?

[yael aharon <ya...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I have noticed that in
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/util/SparkUncaughtExceptionHandler.scala
spark would call System.exit if an uncaught exception was encountered.
I have an application that is running spark in local mode, and would like
to avoid exiting the application if that happens.
Will spark exit my application in local mode too, or is that the behavior
only in cluster mode? Is there a setting to override this behavior?
thanks, Yael
