Run Spark from the Spark Shell

About this task

In yarn-client mode, complete the following steps to run Spark from the Spark shell:

Procedure

Navigate to the Spark-on-YARN installation directory, and insert your Spark version into the command.
```
cd /opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/
```
Issue the following command to run Spark from the Spark shell:
- On Spark 2.0.1 and later:
```
./bin/spark-shell --master yarn --deploy-mode client
```
- On Spark 1.6.1:
```
