    The problem is not the backend. The problem is 
`CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.killExecutors` which can decide to kill just a 
subset of the executors asked to be killed.
    
    I'm wary of @dhruve's assessment of the problem because that code was added 
*exactly* because the code was killing busy executors that had for some reason 
become "idle".  See SPARK-9552.
