>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0

> At present, accumulators must be registered on the driver and subsequently accessed (i.e., added/reset) by the code running on the executor using the same object. As a result, the accumulator object must be passed throughout the code, which leads to verbosity, particularly in multi-module Spark applications where user code is distributed across multiple modules.
> Instead why not have name based access to accumulator so that objects don't need to be passed explicitly? (Sort of global named accumulators)
> Currently,
> {code:java}
> val accName = "custom_acc_experimental" 
> val la = new LongAccumulator()
> sc.register(la, accName)
> sc.parallelize(0 to 10).mapPartitions(partition => {
>   la.add(100L)
>   partition
> }).count{code}
> Can be,
> {code:java}
> val accName = "custom_acc_experimental"
> val la = new LongAccumulator()
> sc.register(la, accName) 
> sc.parallelize(0 to 10).mapPartitions(partition => {
>   // Assuming new end-point
>   AccumulatorV2.add(accName, 100L)   
>   partition 
> }).count {code}
> I was able to do a [working POC of this|https://github.com/apache/spark/compare/master...mayurdb:spark:experiment] where the user defined accumulators are internally passed to task executable.
> Probably a new endpoint needs to be added for users to create such accumulators as handling all current accumulators in this manner would cause pressure on the task flow RPC. I can write a small doc on approach but wanted to get a ack if this seems workable.
