Hi Al,,
Following the threads in spark forum, I decided to write up on configuration of Spark including allocation of resources and configuration of driver, executors, threads, execution of Spark apps and general troubleshooting taking into account the allocation of resources for Spark applications and OS tools at the disposal. Since the most widespread configuration as I notice is with "Spark Standalone Mode", I have decided to write these notes starting with Standalone and later on moving to Yarn - *Standalone *– a simple cluster manager included with Spark that makes it easy to set up a cluster. - *YARN* – the resource manager in Hadoop 2. I would appreciate if anyone interested in reading and commenting to get in touch with me directly on mich.talebza...@gmail.com so I can send the write-up for their review and comments. Just to be clear this is not meant to be any commercial proposition or anything like that. As I seem to get involved with members troubleshooting issues and threads on this topic, I thought it is worthwhile writing a note about it to summarise the findings for the benefit of the community.
