Thomas Graves commented on SPARK-18769:
---------------------------------------
I definitely understand there is an actual problem here, but I think the
problem is more with Spark and its event processing/synchronization then the
fact we are asking for more containers. Like I mention I agree with doing
the jira I just want to clarify why we are doing it and make sure we do it such
that it doesn't hurt our container allocation. Its always good to play nice in
the yarn environment and not ask for more containers then the entire cluster
can handle for instance, but at the same time if we are limiting the container
requests early on, yarn could easily free up resource and make them available
for you. If you don't have your request in yarn could give those to someone
else. There are a lot of configs in the yarn schedulers and different
situations. If you look at some other apps on yarn (MR and TEZ), both
immediately ask for all of their resource. MR is definitely different since it
doesn't reuse containers, TEZ does. With asking for everything immediately you
can definitely hit issues where if your tasks run really fast then you don't
need all of those containers, but the exponential ramp up on our allocation now
gets you their really quickly anyway and I think you can hit the same issue.
Note that in our clusters we set the upper limit by default to something
reasonable (couple thousand) and if someone has really large job they can
reconfigure.

> Reporter: Neerja Khattar

> Currently when dynamic allocation is enabled max.executor is infinite and
> spark creates so many executor and even exceed the yarn nodemanager memory
> limit and vcores.
> It should have a check to not exceed more that yarn resource limit.
