Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/586#issuecomment-41638782 Hey @sryza thanks for looking at this. Any chance you could test this on a YARN cluster and make sure it all works well. Since we have no test coverage here, it would be good to just take it for a whirl before we merge it. Another thing that's be bugging me is I'm not sure whether or not we handle quoted strings correctly in the way we ship this stuff around YARN. For instance, what if someone has: SPARK_JAVA_OPTS="-Dspark.app.name=\"Sandy's App\" -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" I want to make sure we don't regress behavior from where we previously used an environment variable. I don't think we handle these in `spark-submit` arguments (we'd need to modify our parser a bit), but it would be nice to make sure that if someone puts a quoted string int he defaults file or in SPARK_JAVA_OPTS it will work.
