----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Bug

useLegacyMode works as expected, I just made a wrong assumption

> spark.memory.useLegacyMode=true in 1.6 does not yield the same memory 
> behavior as Spark 1.3

>  Hi,
> I am trying to get the same memory behavior in Spark 1.6 as I had in Spark 
> 1.3 with default settings.
> I set
> --driver-java-options "--Dspark.memory.useLegacyMode=true 
> -Dspark.shuffle.memoryFraction=0.2 -Dspark.storage.memoryFraction=0.6 
> -Dspark.storage.unrollFraction=0.2"
> in Spark 1.6.
> But the numbers don't add up. For instance:
> --driver-java-options "-Dspark.shuffle.memoryFraction=0.1 
> -Dspark.storage.memoryFraction=0.1"
> in Spark 1.3.1 leads to:
> 16/03/29 14:47:36 INFO MemoryStore: MemoryStore started with capacity 46.1 MB
> The same in Spark 1.6.0 with -Dspark.memory.useLegacyMode=true 
> -Dspark.shuffle.memoryFraction=0.1 -Dspark.storage.memoryFraction=0.1.
> 16/03/29 14:50:55 INFO MemoryStore: MemoryStore started with capacity 92.2 MB
> If I then increase both fractions to 0.2, the numbers of the MemoryStore both 
> double (as one would expect), but that means there is still a 2x difference 
> in allocated memory between Spark 1.3 and Spark 1.6. So my question:
> I believe a parameter that reads
> spark.memory.useLegacyMode=true
> should yield the *exact* memory behavior as in the Legacy version.
