    Latter was a go-to solution at the time when we were only using Spark on YARN. Sadly Apache Livy is not maintained anymore: it has no K8s support, Spark client is more and more outdated with every passing day. For some time we used @jahstreet's fork which had K8s available. But then we saw that the Livy project hadn't received any updates and we decided to implement our own solution - Exacaster Lighter.
