HyukjinKwon commented on issue #21977: [SPARK-25004][CORE] Add 
spark.executor.pyspark.memory limit.

   I think the actual data is spilled into disk on Python RDD APIs during 
shuffle and/or aggregation. For instance, `partitionBy`, `sortBy`, etc.
   
   Up to my knowledge, this configuration does not apply to SQL or Arrow 
related APIs in Python but only RDD APIs. During aggregation and/or batch 
processing, it looks inevitable to hold the groups in memory and it might 
exceed the memory limit. In this case, it spills into disk as configured this 
`spark.python.worker.memory`.
   
   I think basically we should just use `spark.executor.pyspark.memory` for 
this if I am not mistaken here since essentially `spark.python.worker.memory` 
means the memory that should be used in Python worker.
