(Continued from old repo, prior discussion at https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/615)
This patch cements our deprecation of the SPARK_MEM environment variable by replacing it with three more specialized variables:
SPARK_DAEMON_MEMORY, SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY, and SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY
The creation of the latter two variables means that we can safely set driver/job memory without accidentally setting the executor memory. Neither is public.
SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY is only used by the Mesos scheduler (and set within SparkContext). The proper way of configuring executor memory is through the "spark.executor.memory" property.
SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY is the new way of specifying the amount of memory run by jobs launched by spark-class, without possibly affecting executor memory.
Other memory considerations:
- The repl's memory can be set through the "--drivermem" command-line option, which really just sets SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY.
- run-example doesn't use spark-class, so the only way to modify examples' memory is actually an unusual use of SPARK_JAVA_OPTS (which is normally overriden in all cases by spark-class).
This patch also fixes a lurking bug where spark-shell misused spark-class (the first argument is supposed to be the main class name, not java options), as well as a bug in the Windows spark-class2.cmd. I have not yet tested this patch on either Windows or Mesos, however.
