Zebing Lin updated SPARK-30511:
-------------------------------
    External issue ID:   (was: SPARK-2840)

> Spark marks ended speculative tasks as pending leads to holding idle executors
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>                 Key: SPARK-30511
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30511
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Scheduler
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
>            Reporter: Zebing Lin
>            Priority: Major
>
> *TL;DR*
>  When speculative tasks finished/failed/got killed, they are still considered 
> as pending and count towards the calculation of number of needed executors.
> h3. Symptom
> In one of our production job (where it's running 4 tasks per executor), we 
> found that it was holding 6 executors at the end with only 2 tasks running (1 
> speculative). With more logging enabled, we found the job printed:
> {code:java}
> pendingTasks is 0 pendingSpeculativeTasks is 17 totalRunningTasks is 2
> {code}
>  while the job only had 1 speculative task running and 16 speculative tasks 
> intentionally killed because of corresponding original tasks had finished.
> h3. The Bug
> Upon examining the code of _pendingSpeculativeTasks_: 
> {code:java}
> stageAttemptToNumSpeculativeTasks.map { case (stageAttempt, numTasks) =>
>   numTasks - 
> stageAttemptToSpeculativeTaskIndices.get(stageAttempt).map(_.size).getOrElse(0)
> }.sum
> {code}
> where _stageAttemptToNumSpeculativeTasks(stageAttempt)_ is incremented on 
> _onSpeculativeTaskSubmitted_, but never decremented.  
> _stageAttemptToNumSpeculativeTasks -= stageAttempt_ is performed on stage 
> completion. *This means Spark is marking ended speculative tasks as pending, 
> which leads to Spark to hold more executors that it actually needs!*
> I will have a PR ready to fix this issue, along with SPARK-2840 too
