Finally, notice that in the above example we specify a jar with a specific URI with a scheme of `local://`. This URI is the location of the example jar that is already in the Docker image. +## Client Mode + +Starting with Spark 2.4.0, it is possible to run Spark applications on Kubernetes in client mode. When your application +runs in client mode, the driver can run inside a pod or on a physical host. When running an application in client mode, +it is recommended to account for the following factors: + +### Client Mode Networking + +Spark executors must be able to connect to the Spark driver over a hostname and a port that is routable from the Spark +executors. The specific network configuration that will be required for Spark to work in client mode will vary per +setup. If you run your driver inside a Kubernetes pod, you can use a +[headless service](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#headless-services) to allow your +driver pod to be routable from the executors by a stable hostname. When deploying your headless service, ensure that +the service's label selector will only match the driver pod and no other pods; it is recommended to assign your driver +pod a sufficiently unique label and to use that label in the label selector of the headless service. Specify the driver's +hostname via `spark.driver.host` and your spark driver's port to `spark.driver.port`. --- End diff -- @mccheah as for your comment https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/21748#issuecomment-406680291 so this manual setup is ok, right? there are some level of complexity here - perhaps a quick follow up of some sample kubectl commands would be helpful
