Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-12760:
------------------------------------

    Assignee: Apache Spark

> inaccurate description for difference between local vs cluster mode in 
> closure handling
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-12760
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12760
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Documentation
>            Reporter: Mortada Mehyar
>            Assignee: Apache Spark
>            Priority: Minor
>
> In the spark documentation there's an example for illustrating how `local` 
> and `cluster` mode can differ 
> http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html#example
> " In local mode with a single JVM, the above code will sum the values within 
> the RDD and store it in counter. This is because both the RDD and the 
> variable counter are in the same memory space on the driver node." 
> However the above doesn't seem to be true. Even in `local` mode it seems like 
> the counter value should still be 0, because the variable will be summed up 
> in the executor memory space, but the final value in the driver memory space 
> is still 0. I tested this snippet and verified that in `local` mode the value 
> is indeed still 0. 
> Is the doc wrong or perhaps I'm missing something the doc is trying to say?
