Anirudh Ramanathan commented on SPARK-23485:
--------------------------------------------

While mostly I think that K8s would be better suited to make the decision to 
blacklist nodes, I think we will see that there are causes to consider nodes 
problematic beyond just the kubelet health checks, so, using Spark's 
blacklisting sounds like a good idea to me. 

Tainting nodes aren't the right solution given it's one Spark application's 
notion of a blacklist and we don't want it to be applied at a cluster level. We 
could however, use [node 
anti-affinity|https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity]
 to communicate said blacklist and ensure that certain nodes are avoided by 
executors of that application.

> Spark's BlacklistTracker maintains a list of "bad nodes" which it will not 
> use for running tasks (eg., because of bad hardware).  When running in yarn, 
> this blacklist is used to avoid ever allocating resources on blacklisted 
> nodes:

> I'm just beginning to poke around the kubernetes code, so apologies if this

> {{scheduler.nodeBlacklist()}} in {{KubernetesClusterSchedulerBackend}} so it 
> seems this is missing.  Thought of this while looking at SPARK-19755, a 
> similar issue on mesos.
