spark.executor.cores determines how many concurrent tasks an executor can run.
For example, if set to 4, each executor can run up to 4 tasks in parallel.
Other settings:
spark.task.maxFailures controls task retry logic.
spark.driver.cores is for the driver, not executors.
spark.executor.memory sets memory limits, not task concurrency.
