-------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow -Xms to be set differently then -Xmx
                 Key: SPARK-12384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12384
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Submit, YARN
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
            Reporter: Thomas Graves


Currently Spark automatically sets the -Xms parameter to be the same as the 
-Xmx parameter. We should allow the user to set this separately.

The main use case here is if I'm running the spark-shell on a shared gateway. 
Many users specify a larger memory size then needed and will never use that 
much memory, so all its doing is preventing other users from potentially using 
that memory.  Allowing it to be less is just more multi-tenant friendly.

I think it makes sense to leave this for cluster mode, although if a user 
really wants to override I don't see why we shouldn't let them.
