> don't use term 'standalone' to refer to a Spark Application
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-1307
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1307
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Diana Carroll
>
> In the "Quick Start Guide" for Scala, there are three sections entitled "A
> Standalone App in Scala", "A Standalone App in Java" and "A Standalone App in
> Python."
> In these sections, the word "standalone" is meant to refer to a Spark
> application that is run outside of the Spark Shell. This nomenclature is
> quite confusing, because the cluster management framework included in Spark
> is called "Spark Standalone"...this overlap of terms has resulted in at least
> one person (me) think that a "standalone app" was somehow related to a
> "standalone cluster"...and that in order to run my app on a Standalone Spark
> cluster, I had to write follow the instructions to write a Standalone app.
> Fortunately, the only place I can find this usage of "standalone" to refer to
> an application is on the Quick Start page. I think those three sections
> should instead be retitled as
> Writing a Spark Application in Scala
> Writing a Spark Application in Java
> Writing a Spark Application in Python
> and rephrased to remove the use of the term "standalone".
