             Summary: Large number of Python workers causing resource depletion
                 Key: SPARK-5395
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5395
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PySpark
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
         Environment: AWS ElasticMapReduce
            Reporter: Sven Krasser


During job execution a large number of Python worker accumulates eventually causing YARN to kill containers for being over their memory allocation (in the case below that is about 8G for executors plus 6G for overhead per container). 

In this instance, at the time of killing the container 97 pyspark.daemon processes had accumulated.
