Under what scenarios do you use Client and Cluster modes for deployment?

Spark	Parallel distributing computing framework Built on Hadoop/HDFS Provides a powerful API for transforming and manipulating data Open-source Fast and flexible Great for distributed SQL like applications Easy to install and use
Spark Core	The Spark Core is the heart of Spark and performs the core functionality. It holds the components for task scheduling, fault recovery, interacting with storage systems and memory management.
Spark SQL	The Spark SQL is built on the top of Spark Core. It provides support for structured data. It allows to query the data via SQL (Structured Query Language) as well as the Apache Hive variant of SQL?called the HQL (Hive Query Language). It supports JDBC and ODBC connections that establish a relation between Java objects and existing databases, data warehouses and business intelligence tools. It also supports various sources of data like Hive tables, Parquet, and JSON.
