I tried setting spark.executor.cores per executor, but Spark seems to be spinning up as many executors as possible up to spark.cores.max or however many cpu cores available on the cluster, and this may be undesirable because the number of executors in rdd.parallelize(collection, # of partitions) is being overriden
