Github user brkyvz commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17543 Yes, your explanation is on point. If I have 4+ executors that died, then all retries of Stage B will also eventually fail. If we didn't ignore these failures, we could have re-computed the outputs of Stage A for more of the lost executors earlier on. So, I'm also worried about the case you specified where executor Z was on the same machine as executor X, and we don't necessarily have to invalidate. That seems like an optimization to me, which actually leads to failures in corner cases like mine. Maybe it's better to be safe than sorry? I'll definitely add a unit test, I just want to make sure I'm solving the problem the right way in the right place first :)
