We will be interested by the results if you give a try to Dynamic allocation 
with mesos !

Yes, that's exactly what dynamic allocation does. But again I have no idea what 
the state of dynamic allocation + mesos is.

Great. Makes much better sense now. What will be reason to have 
spark.mesos.mesosExecutor. cores more than 1, as this number doesn't include 
the number of cores for tasks. 


So in my case it seems like 30 CPUs are allocated to executors. And there are 
48 tasks so 48 + 30 = 78 CPUs. And i am noticing this gap of 30 is maintained 
till the last task exits. This explains the gap. Thanks everyone. I am still 
not sure how this number 30 is calculated. ( Is it dynamic based on current 
resources, or is it some configuration. I have 32 nodes in my cluster). 


Is this problem of idle executors sticking around solved in Dynamic Resource 
Allocation? Is there some timeout after which Idle executors can just shutdown 
and cleanup its resources.

No. Each executor runs 0 or more tasks. 

Each executor consumes 1 CPU, and each task running on that executor consumes 
another CPU. You can customize this via spark.mesos.mesosExecutor.cores ( 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.6.3/docs/running-on-mesos.md ) and 
spark.task.cpus ( 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.6.3/docs/configuration.md )

Ah thanks. looks like i skipped reading this " Neither will executors terminate 
when they’re idle." 


So in my job scenario, I should preassume that No of executors should be less 
than number of tasks. Ideally one executor should execute 1 or more tasks. But 
i am observing something strange instead. I start my job with 48 partitions for 
a spark job. In mesos ui i see that number of tasks is 48, but no. of CPUs is 
78 which is way more than 48. Here i am assuming that 1 CPU is 1 executor. I am 
not specifying any configuration to set number of cores per executor.

That makes sense. From the documentation it looks like the executors are not 
supposed to terminate: 
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/running-on-mesos.html#fine-grained-deprecated
 


Note that while Spark tasks in fine-grained will relinquish cores as they 
terminate, they will not relinquish memory, as the JVM does not give memory 
back to the Operating System. Neither will executors terminate when they’re 
idle. 


I suppose your task to executor CPU ratio is low enough that it looks like most 
of the resources are not being reclaimed. If your tasks were using 
significantly more CPU the amortized cost of the idle executors would not be 
such a big deal.

Hi Chawla, 

One possible reason is that Mesos fine grain mode also takes up cores 
to run the executor per host, so if you have 20 agents running Fine 
grained executor it will take up 20 cores while it's still running.
