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.

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.

No, this is not Spark SQL. I am running the built-in PageRank. On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 10:33 AM, <jasbir.s...@accenture.com> wrote: Are you talking here of Spark SQL ? If yes,spark.sql.shuffle.partitions needs to be changed.

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?
