(Adding spark user list) Hi Tom,
If I understand correctly you're saying that you're running into memory problems because the scheduler is allocating too much CPUs and not enough memory to acoomodate them right? In the case of fine grain mode I don't think that's a problem since we have a fixed amount of CPU and memory per task. However, in coarse grain you can run into that problem if you're with in the spark.cores.max limit, and memory is a fixed number. I have a patch out to configure how much max cpus should coarse grain executor use, and it also allows multiple executors in coarse grain mode. So you could say try to launch multiples of max 4 cores with spark.executor.memory (+ overhead and etc) in a slave. ( https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/4027) It also might be interesting to include a cores to memory multiplier so that with a larger amount of cores we try to scale the memory with some factor, but I'm not entirely sure that's intuitive to use and what people know what to set it to, as that can likely change with different workload.
