Github user sryza commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/634#issuecomment-49126877 That's a good point. Changing it for YARN seems like the right thing, and 80% sounds reasonable to me. Another thing is the wait time. Previously it was 6 seconds, but now spark.scheduler.maxRegisteredExecutorsWaitingTime defaults to 5 times that. 30 seconds seems a little excessive to me in general - at least for jobs without caching, after a couple seconds the wait outweighs scheduling some non-local tasks. What do you think about decreasing this to 6 seconds in general? Or at least for YARN.
