@aarondav Your test code is similar to mine, as are your conclusions.
Somebody really needs to do a systematic inventory of Akka exception handling
throughout Spark, including actor restart-ability. This PR,
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/622,
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/186 and
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/637 are a start, but I don't think that
thery are the end of the matter (cf. SPARK-1769, SPARK-1771, SPARK-1772.) Most
of my Spark work right now, though, will be focused on SPARK-1021.
