Hi,
I think I faced the same problem for Spark 2.1.0 when I tried to define number 
of executors from SparkConf ot SparkSession builder in a standalone cluster. 
Always it is taking all available core.
There are three ways to do it:
1. Define spark.executor.cores in conf/spark-defaults.conf and then when you 
run spark-submit it will read from there. You need to set it for all hosts in 
cluster.
2. Passing parameter in spark-submit that you have done already
3. Set this parameter in runtime (in your code while initiating sparkSession or 
sparkConf object) e.g. in python
# Configure Sparkconf = 
SparkConf().setAppName(APP_NAME).set("spark.default.parallelism","20").set("spark.cores.max","5").set("spark.executor.cores","2").set("spark.driver.memory","10g").set("spark.executor.memory","5g").set("spark.storage.memoryFraction","0.4").set("spark.local.dir","/tmp/my-app/")sc
 = SparkContext(conf=conf)sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)
Even you can set sparkSession as well like this to set this kind of parameter.
You can try option #1 & 2 and verify from UI that how many cores are used as 
per your setting.

Moreover as you are running standalone cluster mode, hope you set --master 
parameter to spark:// url. 

Best Regards,P.Gupta

 The Spark version I am using is 2.10. The language is Scala. This is running 
in standalone cluster mode.
Each worker is able to use all physical CPU cores in the cluster as is the 
default case.
I was using the following parameters to spark-submit
--conf spark.executor.cores=1 --conf spark.default.parallelism=32

Later, I read that the term "cores" doesn't mean physical CPU cores but rather 
#tasks that an executor can execute. 
Anyway, I don't have a clear idea how to set the number of executors per 
physical node. I see there's an option in the Yarn mode, but it's not available 
for standalone cluster mode.
Thank you,Saliya

Hi,
Can you please share how you are assigning cpu core & tell us spark version and 
language you are using?

Thank you, for the quick response. No, this is not Spark SQL. I am running the 
built-in PageRank.

Are you talking here of Spark SQL ?

If yes,spark.sql.shuffle.partitions needs to be changed.

Subject: Spark #cores

 

Hi,

 

I am running a Spark application setting the number of executor cores 1 and a 
default parallelism of 32 over 8 physical nodes. 

 

The web UI shows it's running on 200 cores. I can't relate this number to the 
parameters I've used. How can I control the parallelism in a more deterministic 
way?

 

Thank you,

Saliya
