Hey @mengxr we want to allow these properties to be set directly as well...
some applications will use this.
I think it might be good here to show both. First say that they can be set
directly and then explain that they can be set through arguments to
spark-submit if you create a SparkContext with an empty conf.
```
./bin/spark-submit --name "My application" --master local --executor-memory
1g
```
