I think that what you are looking for is Dynamic resource allocation: http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/job-scheduling.html#dynamic-resource-allocation
Spark provides a mechanism to dynamically adjust the resources your application occupies based on the workload. This means that your application may give resources back to the cluster if they are no longer used and request them again later when there is demand. This feature is particularly useful if multiple applications share resources in your Spark cluster. ----- Mail Original ----- De: "Sumit Chawla" <sumitkcha...@gmail.com> À: "Michael Gummelt" <mgumm...@mesosphere.io> Cc: u...@mesos.apache.org, "Dev" <d...@mesos.apache.org>, "User" <user@spark.apache.org>, "dev" <d...@spark.apache.org> Envoyé: Lundi 19 Décembre 2016 19h35:51 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Berne / Rome / Stockholm / Vienne Objet: Re: Mesos Spark Fine Grained Execution - CPU count But coarse grained does the exact same thing which i am trying to avert here. At the cost of lower startup, it keeps the resources reserved till the entire duration of the job.

It's deprecated and fairly old now. CPUs should be relinquished as tasks complete, so I'm not sure why you're seeing what you're seeing. There have been a few discussions on the spark list regarding deprecating the fine-grained scheduler, and no one seemed too dead-set on keeping it. I'd recommend you move over to coarse-grained.

I have a simple Spark application which transforms A -> B. Its a single stage application. To begin the program, It starts with 48 partitions. When the program starts running, in mesos UI it shows 48 tasks and 48 CPUs allocated to job. Now as the tasks get done, the number of active tasks number starts decreasing. How ever, the number of CPUs does not decrease propotionally. When the job was about to finish, there was a single remaininig task, however CPU count was still 20. My questions, is why there is no one to one mapping between tasks and cpus in Fine grained? How can these CPUs be released when the job is done, so that other jobs can start.
