[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-12485) Rename "dynamic allocation" to "elastic scaling"
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12485?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=15107151#comment-15107151 ] Andrew Or commented on SPARK-12485: --- [~srowen] to answer your question no I don't feel super strongly about changing it. Naming is difficult in general and I think both "dynamic allocation" and "elastic scaling" do mean roughly the same thing. It's just that I slightly prefer the latter (or something shorter) after giving a few talks on this topic and chatting with a few people about it in real life. I'm also totally cool with closing this as a Won't Fix if you or [~markhamstra] prefer. > Rename "dynamic allocation" to "elastic scaling" > > > Key: SPARK-12485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12485 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Spark Core >Reporter: Andrew Or >Assignee: Andrew Or > > Fewer syllables, sounds more natural. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org

At least, this thread here indicates there's not an obviously better term.

What Spark is doing with dynamic allocation is to re-allocate resources from an essentially fixed pool of cluster resources -- a particular Application may be re-assigned a different number of Executors, for example, but the total number of Worker nodes remains the same. Elastic scaling, on the other hand, I would argue should be applied to dynamically changing the number of Worker nodes or other cluster resources -- changing the size of the pool, not just re-allocating from a constant size pool. > Rename "dynamic allocation" to "elastic scaling" > > > Key: SPARK-12485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12485 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Spark Core >Reporter: Andrew Or >Assignee: Andrew Or > > Fewer syllables, sounds more natural. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org

Although I don't have as strong a distinction in my mind, I agree those are different ideas and could/should have different names, whatever those may be. Spark doesn't add more YARN workers, but we can still have a name for it. > Rename "dynamic allocation" to "elastic scaling" > > > Key: SPARK-12485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12485 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Spark Core >Reporter: Andrew Or >Assignee: Andrew Or > > Fewer syllables, sounds more natural. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org

Both terms seem equally sound, but dynamic allocation has been widely used to describe the feature externally.
