Nan Zhu commented on SPARK-22765:
---------------------------------

[~xuefuz] Regarding this, "The symptom is that newly allocated executors are 
idled out before completing a single tasks! I suspected that this is caused by 
a busy scheduler. As a result, we have to keep 60s as a minimum."

did you try to tune the parameters like 

1. spark.driver.cores to assign more threads to the driver, 

2. "spark.locality.wait.process", "spark.locality.wait.node", 
"spark.locality.wait.rack" to let executors get filled in a faster pace?

> Create a new executor allocation scheme based on that of MR

>             Project: Spark

>          Components: Scheduler
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.0

> Many users migrating their workload from MR to Spark find a significant 
> resource consumption hike (i.e, SPARK-22683). While this might not be a 
> concern for users that are more performance centric, for others conscious 
> about cost, such hike creates a migration obstacle. This situation can get 
> worse as more users are moving to cloud.
> Dynamic allocation make it possible for Spark to be deployed in multi-tenant 
> environment. With its performance-centric design, its inefficiency has also 
> unfortunately shown up, especially when compared with MR. Thus, it's believed 
> that MR-styled scheduler still has its merit. Based on our research, the 
> inefficiency associated with dynamic allocation comes in many aspects such as 
> executor idling out, bigger executors, many stages (rather than 2 stages only 
> in MR) in a spark job, etc.
> Rather than fine tuning dynamic allocation for efficiency, the proposal here 
> is to add a new, efficiency-centric  scheduling scheme based on that of MR. 
> Such a MR-based scheme can be further enhanced and be more adapted to Spark 
> execution model. This alternative is expected to offer good performance 
> improvement (compared to MR) still with similar to or even better efficiency 
> than MR.
> Inputs are greatly welcome!
