Sean Owen commented on SPARK-20662:
-----------------------------------
Isn't this better handled by the resource manager? for example, YARN lets you
cap these things in a bunch of ways already, and the resource manager is a
better place to manage, well, resources.
> Block jobs that have greater than a configured number of tasks

> Key: SPARK-20662
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20662
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
>
> In a shared cluster, it's desirable for an admin to block large Spark jobs.
> While there might not be a single metrics defining the size of a job, the
> number of tasks is usually a good indicator. Thus, it would be useful for
> Spark scheduler to block a job whose number of tasks reaches a configured
> limit. By default, the limit could be just infinite, to retain the existing
> behavior.
> MapReduce has mapreduce.job.max.map and mapreduce.job.max.reduce to be
> configured, which blocks a MR job at job submission time.
> The proposed configuration is spark.job.max.tasks with a default value -1
> (infinite).
