Note, that each job submission will spawn a JVM within the controller pods using "/usr/local/openjdk-11/bin/java -Xmx128m".

When that happens, you will see the following error: 'failed to run spark-submit for SparkApplication [...]: signal: killed' - when this happens, you may want to increase memory limits. |
