SPARK_WORKER_MEMORY=8g Will allocate 8GB memory to Spark on each worker node. Nothing to do with # of executors.

I followed a bit the instructions of this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26645293/spark-configuration-memory-instance-cores and did that: spark.executor.memory 1g SPARK_WORKER_MEMORY=8g hoping to get 8 executors per worker but its still 1. And the option num-executors is not available in the standalone mode. Thanks a lot!
