Github user njwhite commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/12951#issuecomment-220555299 Thanks for the review @squito - I've commented on the JIRA about why this feature would be useful. As for the implementation - maybe "maxShare" is the wrong word, as the change doesn't relate to the fair scheduler at all. Instead it limits the maximum number of tasks a `Schedulable` can have running at any one time. It really is just a one line change - `resourceOffer` now won't accept any more resources (i.e. won't run any of its tasks) if the calculated current value of `maxShares` means there isn't any free space in the pool. The `maxShares` method just returns the maximum number of tasks allowed in the pool, minus the number of tasks running in the pool. You can see the propagation of the `maxShares` limit in the assertions I added to the `PoolSuite` test.
