Hi Zoltan, If running on YARN, the YARN NodeManager starts executors. I don't think there's a 100% precise way for the Spark executor way to know how many resources are allotted to it. It can come close by looking at the Spark configuration options used to request it (spark.executor.memory and spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead), but it can't necessarily for the amount that YARN has rounded up if those configuration properties (yarn.scheduler.minimum-allocation-mb and yarn.scheduler.increment-allocation-mb) are not present on the node.
