Andrew Or commented on SPARK-1792: ---------------------------------- Spark shell calls spark submit, which loads configuration options from conf/spark-defaults.conf. This is documented here, but not clearly: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/docs/cluster-overview.md We should add this to the configuration page itself (https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/docs/configuration.md). I already have a PR on the docs (https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/701) so maybe I can add that. > Missing Spark-Shell Configure Options > ------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-1792 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1792 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation, Spark Core > Reporter: Joseph E. Gonzalez > > The `conf/spark-env.sh.template` does not have configure options for the > spark shell. For example to enable Kryo for GraphX when using the spark > shell in stand alone mode it appears you must add: > {code} > SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTS="-Dspark.serializer=org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer > " > SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTS+="-Dspark.kryo.registrator=org.apache.spark.graphx.GraphKryoRegistrator > " > {code} > However SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTS is not documented anywhere. Perhaps the > spark-shell should have its own options (e.g., SPARK_SHELL_OPTS). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
