Hi, Actually several java task threads running in a single executor, not processes, so each executor will only have one JVM runtime which shares with different task threads.
Thanks Jerry From: rapelly kartheek [mailto:kartheek.m...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2014 5:29 PM To: user@spark.apache.org Subject: Hi Hi I have this doubt: I understand that each java process runs on different JVM instances. Now, if I have a single executor on my machine and run several java processes, then there will be several JVM instances running. Now, process_local means, the data is located on the same JVM as the task that is launched. But, the memory associated with the entire executor is same. Then, how does this memory gets distributed across the JVMs??. I mean, how this memory gets associated with multiple JVMs?? Thank you!!! -karthik
