Marcelo Vanzin commented on SPARK-3174:
---------------------------------------

[~andrewor14] still regarding the shuffle service, your plan is not to use the 
existing ShuffleService in Hadoop, but still deploy spark's shuffle service as 
a node manager aux service (in the case of Yarn), correct? Or is that API not 
generic enough for Spark's needs?

> A common complaint with Spark in a multi-tenant environment is that 
> applications have a fixed allocation that doesn't grow and shrink with their 
> resource needs.  We're blocked on YARN-1197 for dynamically changing the 
> resources within executors, but we can still allocate and discard whole 
> executors.
> It would be useful to have some heuristics that
> * Request more executors when many pending tasks are building up
> * Discard executors when they are idle
> See the latest design doc for more information.
