+ <td>12.0</td>
+ <td>
+ Tuning this is not recommended unless you are sure what you are doing. This maps to akka's `akka.remote.transport-failure-detector.threshold`. Usually having a larger value of `spark.akka.pauses` should suffice.

+ <td>
+ A larger interval value in seconds reduces network overhead and a smaller value might be more informative for akka's failure detector. Tune this in combination of `spark.akka.pauses` and `spark.akka.failure-detector.threshold` if you need to.
