Github user sryza commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/4818#issuecomment-76516622 I wouldn't really agree that this is a YARN implementation detail. This is of course somewhat subjective given that YARN doesn't really document this behavior, but, speaking with my YARN committer hat on, I'd consider a change that makes YARN return smaller containers than requested when CPU scheduling is on a break in compatibility. Not strongly opposed to adding a config, but, if we do, I think it's better for the default to optimize for ease of use over the remote possibility that a future version of YARN might change behavior in this way. Also, whatever behavior we decide on, it would be good (and should be straightforward) to add a test for it in `YarnAllocatorSuite`.
