Github user sryza commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2746#issuecomment-60041418 YARN provides (2). After an app makes a request for X executors, YARN keeps track of them until the app goes away. In fact, the API to YARN isn't "I want X more executors", but "I want X executors". I.e. a new request overwrites the old ones (it's a little more convoluted when requests are for particular locations, but basically the same concept).
