Because submitting tasks and registering executors are asynchronous, in most situation, early stages' tasks run without preferred locality.
A simple solution is sleeping few seconds in application, so that executors have enough time to register.
The PR add 2 configuration properties to make TaskScheduler submit tasks after a few of executors have been registered.
\# Submit tasks only after (registered executors / total executors) arrived the ratio, default value is 0
spark.scheduler.minRegisteredExecutorsRatio = 0.8
\# Whatever minRegisteredExecutorsRatio is arrived, submit tasks after the maxRegisteredWaitingTime(millisecond), default value is 30000
spark.scheduler.maxRegisteredExecutorsWaitingTime = 5000
