title: Which cluster type should I choose for Spark?
body: <p>I am new to Apache Spark, and I just learned that Spark supports three types of cluster:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Standalone - meaning Spark will manage its own cluster</li>
  <li>YARN - using Hadoop's YARN resource manager</li>
  <li>Mesos - Apache's dedicated resource manager project</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I think I should try <strong>Standalone</strong> first. In the future, I need to build a large cluster (hundreds of instances).</p>
  <p>Which cluster type should I choose?</p>
