It is also defined in ClientArguments. Even I guess the below default values are from same consideration like numExecurots. https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/SparkContext.scala#L1232 https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/SparkContext.scala#L1232 https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/SparkContext.scala#L1232 If we want to make the value to be constant, we should considerate all of them. So maybe we can add an object org.apache.spark.Constants to manange all constants. @tgravescs
