I am running some stream jobs that are long-running always. I am currently submitting each job as a standalone job on yarn. 

1. I need to understand what is the advantage of using yarn-session and when should I use that. 

2. Also, I am not able to access rest API services is it because I am running as standalone job over yarn. Is REST API works only in yarn-session?
