I've got the opposite problem with regards to partitioning. I've got over
6000 partitions for some of these RDDs which immediately blows the heap
somehow- I'm still not exactly sure how. If I coalesce them down to about
600-800 partitions, I get the problems where the executors are dying
without any other error messages (other than telling me the executor was
lost in the UI). If I don't coalesce, I pretty immediately get Java heap
space exceptions that kill the job altogether.

Putting in the timeouts didn't seem to help the case where I am coalescing.
Also, I don't see any dfferences between 'disk only' and 'memory and disk'
storage levels- both of them are having the same problems. I notice large
shuffle files (30-40gb) that only seem to spill a few hundred mb.
