AWS emr documentation change

Service: emr · 2026-05-13 · Documentation low

File: emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-spark-configure.md

Summary

Corrected a typo in the configuration property name from 'yarn.resourcemager.decommissioning.timeout' to 'yarn.resourcemanager.decommissioning.timeout' in the Spark node decommissioning documentation.

Security assessment

This change fixes a documentation typo in a configuration property name but does not address any security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The documentation describes Spark's node decommissioning behavior for reliability during Spot instance terminations, not security controls.

-`spark.decommissioning.timeout.threshold` |  Available in Amazon EMR release 5.11.0 or later. Specified in seconds. When a node transitions to the decommissioning state, if the host will decommission within a time period equal to or less than this value, Amazon EMR not only deny lists the node, but also cleans up the host state (as specified by `spark.resourceManager.cleanupExpiredHost`) without waiting for the node to transition to a decommissioned state. This allows Spark to handle Spot instance terminations better because Spot instances decommission within a 20-second timeout regardless of the value of `yarn.resourcemager.decommissioning.timeout`, which may not provide other nodes enough time to read shuffle files. |  `20s`
