Github user tgravescs commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/663#issuecomment-42335595 This doesn't dynamically change the thread pool size. Its basically limited at 10 since its using a LinkedBlockingQueue. And the value of the maximumPoolSize doesn't have any effect. The MR AM has code to change the size and also has a config for max limit.
