RequestExecutors and killExecutor are public developer APIs for managing the number of executors allocated to the SparkContext. For consistency, requestTotalExecutors should also be a public Developer API, as it provides similar functionality. In fact, using requestTotalExecutors is more convenient that requestExecutors as the former is idempotent and the latter is not.
