Re: [ANNOUNCE] Announcing Apache Spark 2.4.0

Thanks this is a great news

Can you please lemme if dynamic resource allocation is available in spark
2.4?

I’m using spark 2.3.2 on Kubernetes, do I still need to provide executor
memory options as part of spark submit command or spark will manage
required executor memory based on the spark job size ?
