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

Thanks Sean. {{-- jars}} does something similar but not quite. 
{{extraClassPath}} properties modify the system classpath of both the driver 
and executor while {{--jars}} only modifies the class loader running the 
driver/executor code.

This change would allow users to override libraries shipped with Spark, or add 
jars like some JDBC driver, that don't work unless they are adding to the 
system classpath.

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Spark Submit
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
>            Reporter: Mark Grover
>            Priority: Minor

> Currently one can set extra jars in the driver classpath using 
> {{spark.driver.extraClassPath}} property. Similarly, the executor's extra 
> classpath can be set using {{spark.executor.extraClassPath}} property.
> However, many users (myself) included have often suffered from the dogma of 
> setting one and missing the other. Causing a lot of wasted time. And, this 
> JIRA is an effort to see if the status quo can be made better.
> More details in comments.
