             Summary: State is still needed in the event of executor failure
                 Key: SPARK-35399
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-35399
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 3.1.1
            Reporter: Chris


[Graceful Decommission of Executors|https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.1.1/job-scheduling.html#graceful-decommission-of-executors] section states that:

 
{quote}a Spark executor exits either on failure or when the associated application has also exited. In both scenarios, all state associated with the executor is no longer needed and can be safely discarded.
{quote}
However, in the case of a flaky app with tasks causing occasional executor OOM, state _is_ needed to prevent triggering of the stage failure mechanism to regenerate missing blocks. Hence, the Shuffle Service is valuable in this scenario, not only in the dynamic resource allocation scenario.
