Use for question related to Apache Spark standalone deploy mode (not local mode).
This tag should be used for questions specific to Standalone deploy mode. Questions might include cluster orchestration in standalone mode, or standalone specific features and configuration options.
Spark standalone mode is alternative to running Spark on Mesos or YARN. Standalone mode provides a simpler alternative to using more sophisticated resource managers, which might be useful or applicable on dedicated Spark cluster (i.e. not running other jobs).
"Standalone" speaks to the nature of running "alone" without an external resource manager.
