Description

The 'Spark Standalone Mode' guide describes how to manually launch a standalone cluster, which can be done locally for testing, but it does not mention SparkContext's `local-cluster` option.

What are the differences between these approaches? Which one should I prefer for local testing? Can I still use the standalone web interface if I use 'local-cluster' mode?

It would be useful to document this.
