Github user markhamstra commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/9603#issuecomment-159088257 Beyond that, the message is actually somewhat misleading. The "Stopping" message occurs in `stop()`, which is responsible for stopping the messageScheduler, eventProcessLoop and taskScheduler. When the "Starting" message is logged, at least the eventProcessLoop and taskScheduler will already have been started, so the argument from symmetry for "Starting" because there is a "Stopping" doesn't hold even without considering that "Starting", ...logMessage, ...logMessage, ... isn't symmetrical to logMessage, ...logMessage, "Stopping" unless we can somehow run time both forwards and backwards. There is also the problem that the "Starting" message is only sent from the secondary constructors and not from the primary.
