Ryan Williams commented on SPARK-21425:
---------------------------------------

[~zsxwing] yea, it's static accumulators, and seems to only be a problem in 
"local" mode. I just updated [my comment 
above|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21425?focusedCommentId=16090017&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16090017]
 because I'd previously thought I'd been able to repro this in cluster mode, 
but now looking back at what I tried, that's not the case afaict. 

Small nit: I'm not sure what you mean by "local-cluster mode… will always be 0" 
though… I definitely get nonzero results on the driver with master "local\[*\]".

Anyway, thanks for investigating.
