Github user squito commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17854 > It took 3~4 minutes to start an executor on an NM (most of the time was spent on container localization: downloading spark jar, application jar and etc. from the hdfs staging folder). I think the biggest improvements might in your cluster setup. I'd ensure that the spark jars (and all dependencies) are already on the local file systems of each node, and keep the application jar as small as possible, by also pushing dependencies of your application onto the local filesystems of each node. That usually keeps the code of your application jar that needs to be shipped around pretty small. Even with it on hdfs, one of the copies is probably on the driver which will still put a lot of pressure on that node.
