Hi, @holden Karau recently created two Jiras that deal with two items of interest namely:
1. Improve Spark Driver Launch Time SPARK-44950 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44950> 2. Improve Spark Dynamic Allocation SPARK-44951 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44951> These are both very much in demand (at least IMO) These topics have been discussed a few times. Most recently in spark-dev thread I*mproving Dynamic Allocation Logic for Spark 4+* on 7th August Pretty much in skeleton form yet. Add your vote if you are interested and comment.
