Ryan Williams closed SPARK-4665.
--------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Per discussion on [#3525|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/3525], people 
don't feel that configuring memory overhead in this way is useful / worth 
adding a config parameter for.

> Config value for setting yarn container overhead to a fraction of executor 
> memory

> Currently, the {{spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead}} config lets you specify 
> a number of MB of "overhead" memory to allocate for each executor.
> It turns out that it is more useful to set this to a specific fraction of the 
> executor memory size; currently a lower-bound of 7% is the default.
> This lower-bound percentage should be configurable, as well; I've heard rules 
> of thumb that closer to 10% is desirable, and in general it makes more sense 
> to be able to specify the fraction you're targeting than to specify an 
> absolute number of MB.
