---------------------------------
Is there a JIRA to add this feature to Mesos?
> Provide elastic scaling within a Spark application
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-3174
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3174
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Spark Core, YARN
> Affects Versions: 1.0.2
> Reporter: Sandy Ryza
> Assignee: Andrew Or
> Fix For: 1.2.0
>
> Attachments: SPARK-3174design.pdf, SparkElasticScalingDesignB.pdf,

>
> A common complaint with Spark in a multi-tenant environment is that
> applications have a fixed allocation that doesn't grow and shrink with their
> resource needs. We're blocked on YARN-1197 for dynamically changing the
> resources within executors, but we can still allocate and discard whole
> executors.
> It would be useful to have some heuristics that
> * Request more executors when many pending tasks are building up
> * Discard executors when they are idle
> See the latest design doc for more information.
