Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/586#issuecomment-41714679 @tgravescs ah I see, you're right. I think I assumed incorrectly that the executor launcher would bundle up the options and send them over, but I don't actually see that happening anywhere. So this part of the code is actually not used: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/df6d81425bf3b8830988288069f6863de873aee2/yarn/common/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/yarn/ClientBase.scala#L328 What happens is the executor is just getting its configuration from the driver when the executor launches. And that works in _most_ cases except for security, which it needs to know about before connecting. Is that right?
