Github user shivaram commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/27#issuecomment-36271766 IMHO it would be better to try the simpler solution first and see how it works -- With a large enough number of executors I think the probability of seeing the same executors repeatedly should be pretty small P.S: (It looks like an instance of balls-bins problem to me, so the imbalance should be at worst log N ?).
