             Summary: Kill the executor on nested fatal errors
                 Key: SPARK-33587
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-33587
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
            Reporter: Shixiong Zhu


Currently we kill the executor when hitting a fatal error. However, if the 
fatal error is wrapped by another exception, such as
- java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException, 
com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException, 
com.google.common.util.concurrent.ExecutionError when using Guava cache and 
java thread pool.
- SparkException thrown from this line: 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/cf98a761de677c733f3c33230e1c63ddb785d5c5/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/datasources/FileFormatWriter.scala#L231

We will still keep the executor running. Fatal errors are usually unrecoverable 
(such as OutOfMemoryError), some components may be in a broken state when 
hitting a fatal error. Hence, it's better to detect the nested fatal error as 
well and kill the executor. Then we can rely on Spark's fault tolerance to 
recover.
