About this task
Cray recommends to have the Spark Thrift to be started up by administrators, however, users can use the
following instructions if they need to start up their own Spark Thrift server.
CAUTION: It is recommended for multiple users (admin and non-admin) to use the same Spark Thrift
server (that has been started by an administrator) instead of spinning up their own individual servers, as
doing so could result in resource lockdown. In addition, though it is possible for multiple users to connect
to each other's Spark Thrift server, doing so can result in loss of connectivity if the server is brought down
by the user who brings it up. If a user who starts up the Spark Thrift server brings it down, other users
may experience loss of connection issues.
