How do I pass program-argument to main function in running spark-submit with a JAR?

Question

I know this is a trivial question, but I could not find the answer on the internet.

I am trying to run a Java class with the main function with program

Answer 1

Arguments passed before the .jar file will be arguments to the JVM, where as arguments passed after the jar file will be passed on to the user's program.

bin/spark-submit --class classname -Xms256m -Xmx1g something.jar someargument

Here, s will equal someargument, whereas the -Xms -Xmx is passed into the JVM.

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String s = args[0];
}
