Github user steveloughran commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/6935#issuecomment-158971646 As discussed on #6545, I think we could actually switch to live UI playback, provided the number of cached UIs was kept down. What must be done here is keeping a limit on the number of threads doing playback; a pool will be needed equal to the size of the loaded UIs, or, if the provider starts them, the number of cached UIs must be limited *and* when removed from the cache, the thread has to be returned to the pool. This could not only handle incomplete applications, it should be able to offer a more responsive load of completed ones -the UI could be registered while event playback was in progress. Proposal 1. Supplement `getAppUI(appId: String, attemptId: Option[String]): Option[SparkUI]` with one to start Spark UI playback; some case class returned with the UI, playback info (in progress), and a closure to call when releasing the cached entry 1. when loading a complete attempt, the async playback would be executed until the playback finished, then the close() operation called. 1. when loading an in progress app attempt, the async playback would continue until one of: app completes, app release from cache, history server halted (for in-VM tests)
