Github user tgravescs commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/3409#issuecomment-65140498 Oh I think I misread the jira. I thought you were wanting to modify the classpath but you are really just wanting to specify jvm options that are used in things like mapred-site.xml for the classpath. I do think its weird that we are not consistent across the use of driver.extra* variables though. There are definitely cases where the client AM doesn't need the same settings as the driver. For instance memory size. The AM doesn't need to be very large at all but the driver may need to be. ( I have different jira for that case). Similarly I could see java options being different between these and really the classpath also. If you are running in yarn client mode, the driver may have a bunch of other things in its classpath that don't apply to the application master at all.
