Then a new AM restarts. Because in ExecutorAllocationManager, the total number of executors does not changed, driver does not send RequestExecutors to AM to ask executors. Then the total number of executors is the value of spark.dynamicAllocation.initialExecutors . So the total number of executors in driver and AM is different. Because when AM is restarted, it will change it's state to the initial state, whereas if `ExecutorAllocationManager`'s state is still the current state, then the state maintained in two sides will be out of sync, and required executor number calculated in AM side will be wrong.
