Github user kayousterhout commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/246#issuecomment-39043810 I'm not sure how to generate an example of this...I think it can happen with Shark but maybe @pwendell or @markhamstra can comment here? I wonder if maybe a better way to handle this would be to add a cancelStage() method to the DAGScheduler, which already has the mappings of stages to jobs and vice versa. That way the UI wouldn't have to duplicate this information.
