In the O'reilly book Learning Spark Chapter 10 section 24/7 Operation It talks about 'Receiver Fault Tolerance'
I'm unsure of what a Receiver is here, from reading it sounds like when you submit an application to the cluster in cluster mode i.e. *--deploy-mode cluster *the driver program will run on a Worker and this case this Worker is seen as a Receiver because it is consuming messages from the source. Is the above understanding correct? or is there more to it?
