-----------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException when initializing SparkContext in YARN-cluster mode
                 Key: SPARK-7504
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7504
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Deploy, YARN
            Reporter: Zoltán Zvara


It is not clear for most users that, while running Spark on YARN a {{SparkContext}} with a given execution plan can be run locally as {{yarn-client}}, but can not deploy itself to the cluster. This is currently performed using {{org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.Client}}. {color:gray} I think we should support deployment through {{SparkContext}}, but this is not the point I wish to make here. {color}

Configuring a {{SparkContext}} to deploy itself currently will yield an {{ERROR}} while accessing {{spark.yarn.app.id}} in  {{YarnClusterSchedulerBackend}}, and after that a {{NullPointerException}} while referencing the {{ApplicationMaster}} instance.

Spark should clearly inform the user that it might be running in {{yarn-cluster}} mode without a proper submission using {{Client}} and that deploying is not supported directly from {{SparkContext}}.
