Description

When accessing spark rest api with application id to get job specific id status, a job with name containing whitespaces are being encoded to '%20' and therefore the rest api returns `no such app`.

For example:

http://spark.mysite.com:20888/proxy/application_1447676402999_1254/api/v1/applications/ returns:
[ {
"id" : "Spark shell",
"name" : "Spark shell",
"attempts" : [

{ "startTime" : "2016-01-28T09:20:58.526GMT", "endTime" : "1969-12-31T23:59:59.999GMT", "sparkUser" : "", "completed" : false }

]
} ]

and then when accessing:
http://spark.mysite.com:20888/proxy/application_1447676402999_1254/api/v1/applications/Spark shell/
the result returned is:
unknown app: Spark%20shell
