A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

1-1Implement and manage an analytics solution

You want executors added automatically when tasks exceed current capacity and released when jobs finish. Which pool option do you enable?

Autoscale minimum nodesAutoscale sets node bounds but does not request executors per task.
Dynamic allocationCorrect · your answerCorrect.
Starter pool modeStarter pool mode is about session startup, not executor requests.
Single-node configurationSingle-node config runs driver and executor on one node.

Correct.

Concept

Dynamic allocation lets the application request and release executors during a run, independent of the pool's fixed node bounds.

Why B

Dynamic allocation requests more executors under load and releases them when jobs complete.

Source

Dynamic allocation allows the Apache Spark application to request more executors if the tasks exceed the load that current executors can bear.
