             Summary: Trigger GC on executor node idle
                 Key: SPARK-26513
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26513
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Sandish Kumar HN
             Fix For: 3.0.0


Correct me if I'm wrong.
*Stage:*
      On a large cluster, each stage would have some executors. were a few 
executors would finish a couple of tasks first and wait for whole stage or 
remaining tasks to finish which are executed by different executors nodes in a 
cluster. a stage will only be completed when all tasks in a current stage 
finish its execution. and the next stage execution has to wait till all tasks 
of the current stage are completed. 
 
why don't we trigger GC, when the executor node is waiting for remaining tasks 
to finish, or executor Idle? anyways executor has to wait for the remaining 
tasks to finish which can at least take a couple of seconds. why don't we 
trigger GC? which will max take <300ms
 
I have proposed a small code snippet which triggers GC when running tasks are 
empty and heap usage in current executor node is more than the given threshold.
This could improve performance for long-running spark job's.
