using `conf.set("spark.cores.max", "10")` (for example).
+# Known issues
+- When using the "fine-grained" mode, make sure that your executors always leave 32 MB free on the slaves. Otherwise it can happen that your Spark job does not proceed anymore. Currently, Apache Mesos only offers resources if there are at least 32 MB memory allocatable. But as Spark allocates memory only for the executor and cpu only for tasks, it can happen on high slave memory usage that no new tasks will be started anymore. More details can be found in [MESOS-1688](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1688). Alternatively use the "coarse-gained" mode, which is not affected by this issue.
