Spark Job/Stage names

[Nithin Asokan <an...@gmail.com>]

I'm interested to see if anyone knows of a way to have custom job/stage
name for Spark Application.

I believe I can use *sparkContext.setCallSite(String)* to update job/stage
names but it does not let me update each stage name, setting this value
will set same text for all job and stage names for that application.

Anyone has done something like this before or have thoughts about have
custom stage names?

On a side note, what is the benefit of having a friendly name for RDD (
RDD.name() )

Thanks,
Nithin
