I updated my patch code and maybe the new version patch can explain my point better. The following snippet shows that **The first unrecognized arg is treated as the primaryResource**(use `Utils.resolveURI(opt).toString` to get app-jar in correct format ): https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/f5360e761ef161f7e04526b59a4baf53f1cf8cd5/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/SparkSubmitArguments.scala#L450-L470 Yes, when you do `run-example`, you just specify the class name(e.g. SparkPi), and no need to specify the app-jar. But in backend code, `appResource` should be auto-find-and-set as the examples' main app jar (e.g. `./examples/jars/spark-examples_2.12-3.0.0.jar`), and then be added as an arg ( this arg is the so-called `first unrecognized arg` and will later be used as the `primaryResource`). **So actually, app-jar arg is always needed in backend.** The bug is, the original backend code forgot to add app-jar, and so the first appArg(e.g. you use SparkPi example and set `100` as its first arg) will be treated as app-jar, check the` :: _jarUrl ::` part at the following snippet: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/f55694638d45f34ab91f6f6ec2066cbf7631f4af/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/ClientArguments.scala#L74-L89 In the original code, `spark-internal` is added, so `spark-internal` is is treated as primaryResource(aka app-jar). ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17903517/92350504-ca593680-f10b-11ea-9ed2-898f8b108587.png) `spark-internal` is useless in this case, but useful in many other cases (covered in some unit tests), so I prefer not to omit it here, or omit it only when you do `run-example`. P.S. Standalone-cluster is a working mode. https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/de44e9cfa07e32d293d68355916ac0dbd31d5c54/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/SparkSubmit.scala#L297 https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/de44e9cfa07e32d293d68355916ac0dbd31d5c54/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/SparkSubmit.scala#L685 ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17903517/92350908-e90bfd00-f10c-11ea-9791-8aa44da9c328.png) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
