Description

Currently, the timeout for checking when an executor is failed is the same as the timeout of the sender ("spark.network.timeout") which defaults to 120s.

This means if there is a network issue, the executor only gets one try to heartbeat which probably causes the failure detection to be flaky.

The executor has a config to control how often to heartbeat (spark.executor.heartbeatInterval) which defaults to 10s. This combination of configs doesn't seem to make sense. The heartbeat rpc timeout should probably be less than or equal to the heartbeatInterval.
