Hi Xi Shen, You could set the spark.executor.memory in the code itself . new SparkConf()..set("spark.executor.memory", "2g") Or you can try the -- spark.executor.memory 2g while submitting the jar.

By default spark.executor.memory is set to 512m, I'm assuming since you are submiting the job using spark-submit and it is not able to override the value since you are running in local mode. Can you try it without using spark-submit as a standalone project?

But in the "Executors" page, I saw there's only 1 executor and its memory is 265.4MB. Very strange value. why not 256MB, or just as what I set? What am I missing here?
