Sean Owen commented on SPARK-7699:
----------------------------------

Isn't maxNeeded the correct number at that point then? the initial state 
doesn't matter. I agree that the initial setting probably doesn't last long. 
But there's a difference in going from initial to # needed, than having to 
start at min and get to the # needed; there's still a point to hinting the 
right initial value.

Are you saying this happens so fast that the initial executors never has any 
effect because it never even got a chance to influence any request?

> Config "spark.dynamicAllocation.initialExecutors" has no effect
