------------------------------------
Cool.

Once that gets started I'll work on using InProcessLauncher in a new
SparkClient.

Another option is to use InProcessLauncher to replace what is current in
SparkClientImpl that invokes SparkSubmit class directly, which isn't used much
anyway. We can organize whatever a way to make code cleaner.

> The {{SparkClientImpl#startDriver}} currently looks for the {{SPARK_HOME}}
> directory and invokes the {{bin/spark-submit}} script, which spawns a
> separate process to run the Spark application.
> {{SparkLauncher}} was added in SPARK-4924 and is a programatic way to launch
> Spark applications.
> I see a few advantages:
> * No need to spawn a separate process to launch a HoS --> lower startup time
> * Simplifies the code in {{SparkClientImpl}} --> easier to debug
> * {{SparkLauncher#startApplication}} returns a {{SparkAppHandle}} which
> contains some useful utilities for querying the state of the Spark job
> ** It also allows the launcher to specify a list of job listeners
