Thomas Graves updated SPARK-12384: ---------------------------------- Assignee: Dhruve Ashar > Allow -Xms to be set differently then -Xmx > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-12384 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12384 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spark Submit, YARN > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: Thomas Graves > Assignee: Dhruve Ashar > Priority: Minor > > Currently Spark automatically sets the -Xms parameter to be the same as the > -Xmx parameter. We should allow the user to set this separately. > The main use case here is if I'm running the spark-shell on a shared gateway. > Many users specify a larger memory size then needed and will never use that > much memory, so all its doing is preventing other users from potentially > using that memory. Allowing it to be less is just more multi-tenant friendly. > I think it makes sense to leave this for cluster mode, although if a user > really wants to override I don't see why we shouldn't let them. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
