Hi everyone,
I've just had a thought: the sequential executor is gives an all around pretty bad experience (it blocks the scheduler, you'll see "scheduler stopped heartbeating" messages if your task run takes a while. So I'd like to propose we change the default executor to LocalExecutor -- to do this we should probably change the default number of slots/processes from 16 to num cpus. Thoughts? None of this has to happen for 2.0 (I don't have time to do it), but just wanted to suggest it. -ash
