    Description

      We are seeing some strange behavior with dynamic allocation, where in some cases the driver will get into a state where it constantly kills idle executors while requesting new executors. This happens at the end of a stage when all tasks are assigned and never stops even when there are no tasks to run.

      From the YarnAllocator logs, it looks like the allocator is getting lots of requests from the driver, even though the timeout between requests should be 5s:

      Yarn allocator logs

      I think the allocator cancels what requests it can, but is getting containers that have already been requested and the executors keep growing because of requests from the driver. Here are 5 seconds from the log:
