If you run a spark job without creating the SparkSession or SparkContext, the spark job logs says it succeeded but yarn says it fails and retries 3 times. Also, since, Application Master unregisters with Resource Manager and exits successfully, it deletes the spark staging directory, so when yarn makes subsequent retries, it fails to find the staging directory and thus, the retries fail.
Added a flag to check whether user has initialized SparkContext. If it is true, we let Application Master unregister with Resource Manager else, we do not let AM unregister with RM.
How was this patch tested?
Manually tested the fix.
