Description

It is convenient to have scheduler backend support for running applications on Nomad, as with YARN and Mesos, so that users can run Spark applications on a Nomad cluster without the need to bring up a Spark Standalone cluster in the Nomad cluster.

Both client and cluster deploy modes should be supported.
