Github user JoshRosen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2944#issuecomment-60857677 Another subtlety: when the web UI receives a request for a thread-dump, it would need to issue a RPC to the executor to fetch that request. Ideally, we wouldn't block the UI server thread in order to prevent a slow driver -> executor round trip from leading to a huge buildup of waiting threads and causing starvation / dropped requests.
