Why would Spark executors be removed (with "ExecutorAllocationManager: Request to remove executorIds" in the logs)?

Question

Im trying to execute a spark job in an AWS cluster of 6 c4.2xlarge nodes and I don't know why Spark is killing the executors... Any help will be appreciated

Here the spark submit command:

. /usr/bin/spark-submit --packages="com.databricks:spark-avro_2.11:3.2.0" --jars RedshiftJDBC42-1.2.1.1001.jar --deploy-mode client --master yarn --num-executors 12 --executor-cores 3 --executor-memory 7G --driver-memory 7g --py-files dependencies.zip iface_extractions.py 2016-10-01 > output.log

At line this line starts to remove executors

17/05/25 14:42:50 INFO ExecutorAllocationManager: Request to remove executorIds: 5, 3

Output spark-submit log:

My guess is that you've got Dynamic Resource Allocation enabled in your Spark configuration.

Spark provides a mechanism to dynamically adjust the resources your application occupies based on the workload. This means that your application may give resources back to the cluster if they are no longer used and request them again later when there is demand. This feature is particularly useful if multiple applications share resources in your Spark cluster.

This feature is disabled by default and available on all coarse-grained cluster managers, i.e. standalone mode, YARN mode, and Mesos coarse-grained mode.

I highlighted the relevant part that says it is disabled by default and hence I can only guess that it was enabled.

From ExecutorAllocationManager:

An agent that dynamically allocates and removes executors based on the workload.

With that said, I'd use web UI and see if spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled property is enabled or not.

There are two requirements for using this feature (Dynamic Resource Allocation). First, your application must set spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled to true. Second, you must set up an external shuffle service on each worker node in the same cluster and set spark.shuffle.service.enabled to true in your application.

This is the line that prints out the INFO message:

logInfo("Request to remove executorIds: " + executors.mkString(", "))

You can also kill executors using SparkContext.killExecutors that gives a Spark developer a way to kill executors himself.

killExecutors(executorIds: Seq[String]): Boolean Request that the cluster manager kill the specified executors.

There are two killExecutors actually and they are very helpful for demo purposes as you can easily show how executors come and go.

Why would Spark executors be removed (with "ExecutorAllocationManager: Request to remove executorIds" in the logs)?
