pySpark driver memory limit
hi there
Can anyone clarify the driver memory aspects of pySpark?
According to [1], spark.driver.memory limits JVM + python memory.
In case:
spark.driver.memory=2G
Then does it mean the user won't be able to use more than 2G, whatever
the python code + the RDD stuff he is using ?
Thanks,

This is my experience too when running under yarn at least

after some testing, the python driver memory is not limited by
spark.driver.memory
instead, there is no limit at all for those processes. This may be
managed by cgroups however.
