How to tune the spark executor number?

I submit a spark stream calculation task to my stand alone spark cluster. The submit command is like below:

./bin/spark-submit   \
--master spark://ES01:7077 \
--executor-memory 4G --num-executors 1\ 
/opt/flowSpark/sparkStream/latest5min.py    1>a.log 2>b.log

Note that I use num-executors 1. Because I only want one executor.

Then with ps comand I can find below output.

[root@ES01 ~]# ps -ef | grep java | grep -v grep  | grep spark

From my understanding

11659 and 11759 is spark stand cluster process.

18538 is the driver program.

18677 18679 18723 should be worker process now.

Why there are still 3 since I already use the num-executor 1 ?

If you are using YARN , you can check the executor by issuing below command in the datanode ( where executors will be instantiated)

 $ sudo -u yarn jps
 11388 CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend
 1854 Jps
 11396 CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend refers one executor.

Check spark.executor.cores in your spark defaults, from the documentation

The number of cores to use on each executor. For YARN and standalone mode only. 
In standalone mode, setting this parameter allows an application to run multiple executors on the same worker, provided that there are enough cores on that worker. 
Otherwise, only one executor per application will run on each worker.
