Executor is the primary entry point for users of distributed.Similarly, Client is the primary entry point for users of dask.distributed. So, both seem like identical.
In dask, can both be used interchangeably ? If yes,what is the use case to use either executor or client ?

  • Where do you find a mention of "executor"? Perhaps you are reading old documentation. Also, I don't understand what you mean mean by "entry point" here. – mdurant Jul 26 '18 at 14:19
  • https://distributed.readthedocs.io/en/1.9.5/executor.html https://distributed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html These documentations have these statements. – Sweta Jul 30 '18 at 11:04

The short and simplest answer: the executor is a deprecated term for the thing that is now known as the client. Refer only to the client. Your documentation page is for versioin 1.9, but distributed is now at version 1.22.
