Sorry for the delay in my response - for my spark calls for stand-alone and YARN, I am using the --executor-memory and --total-executor-cores for the submission. In standalone, my baseline query completes in ~40s while in YARN, it completes in ~1800s. It does not appear from the RM web UI that its asking for more resources than available but by the same token, it appears that its only using a small amount of cores and available memory.
Saying this, let me re-try using the --executor-cores, --executor-memory, and --num-executors arguments as suggested (and documented) vs. the --total-executor-cores On Fri Dec 05 2014 at 1:14:53 PM Andrew Or <and...@databricks.com> wrote: > Hey Arun I've seen that behavior before.
