+ By default, the dynamic allocation will request enough executors to
maximize the
+ parallelism according to the number of tasks to process. While this
minimizes the
+ latency of the job, with small tasks this setting wastes a lot of
resources due to
+ executor allocation overhead, as some executor might not even do any
work.
+ This setting allows to set a divisor that will be used to reduce the
number of
