Event Generation

The Spark executor can generate events that you can use in an event stream. When you enable event generation, the executor generates events each time it starts a Spark application.

Spark executor events can be used in any logical way. For example:

Since Spark executor events include the application ID for each application that it starts, you might generate events to keep a log of the application IDs.
