Github user kayousterhout commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/143#issuecomment-37711356 I know @pwendell has expressed concern about config option bloat so maybe he has an opinion here...I would be in favor of not adding a config option because it's a relatively small cost to serialize it (my sense is that even the closures that are expensive to serialize take in the hundreds of milliseconds, which compared to the time to run a job is typically very short) but I don't feel strongly. Re:keeping the check in the DAGScheduler, what are the cases when the preemptive checking won't get done (other than in tests)?
