Specifically, to run on a cluster, the SparkContext can connect to several types of _cluster managers_
(either Spark's own standalone cluster manager or Mesos/YARN), which allocate resources across

Next, it sends your application code (defined by JAR or Python files passed to SparkContext) to
the executors. Finally, SparkContext sends *tasks* for the executors to run.
