hmm I tried using --jars and that got passed to MasterArguments and that doesn't work :-(
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/branch-1.5/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/master/MasterArguments.scala Same with Worker: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/branch-1.5/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/worker/WorkerArguments.scala Both Master and Worker have to start with these two jars because a.) the Master has to serve the event log in s3 b.) the Worker runs the Driver and has to download the jar from s3 And yes I am using these deps: <!-- Though spark uses 2.6.0, we need the latest because of this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32230039/apache-spark-hangs-after-writing-parquet-file-to-s3-bucket --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId> <artifactId>hadoop-aws</artifactId> <version>2.7.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId> <artifactId>aws-java-sdk</artifactId> <version>1.7.4</version> </dependency> I think I have settled on just modifying the java command line that starts up the worker and master. Just seems easier. Currently launching them with spark-class bash script /mnt/services/spark/bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master \ --ip `hostname -i` --port 7077 --webui-port 8080 If all else fails I will update the spark pom and and include it in the shaded spark jar.
