Github user sitalkedia commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17297 @kayousterhout - Both the scenario A and B you described above are likely (it totally depend on the nature of the job and available cluster resources) and you are right that in case of scenario B, this PR will not provide any benefit. I am planning to have a follow up PR to make the fetch failure handling logic better by not failing a task at all. In that case, the reducers can just inform the scheduler of lost map output and can still continue processing other available map outputs while the scheduler concurrently recomputes the lost map output. But that will be a bigger change in the scheduler.
