Description

The REST API documentation (https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.5.0/monitoring.html#rest-api) claims that the URLs incorporate application ids, but it appears that the actual implementation uses application names.

For instance, when I browse to http://localhost:4041/api/v1/applications/ locally with a 1.5.0 spark-shell:

[ {
  "id" : "Spark shell",
  "name" : "Spark shell",
  "attempts" : [ {
    "startTime" : "2015-09-11T19:58:26.673GMT",
    "endTime" : "1969-12-31T23:59:59.999GMT",
    "sparkUser" : "",
    "completed" : false
  } ]
} ]

However, in spark-shell:

scala> sc.applicationId
res2: String = local-1442001507533
