Koert, Yeah I had the same problems trying to do programmatic submission of spark jobs to my Yarn cluster. I was ultimately able to resolve it by reviewing the classpath and debugging through all the different things that the Spark Yarn client (Client.scala) did for submitting to Yarn (like env setup, local resources, etc), and I compared it to what spark-submit had done. I have to admit though that it was far from trivial to get it working out of the box, and perhaps some work could be done in that regards. In my case, it had boiled down to the launch environment not having the HADOOP_CONF_DIR set, which prevented the app master from registering itself with the Resource Manager.
