Felix Cheung commented on SPARK-23650:
--------------------------------------

Is there a reason for the broadcast?

Could you instead distribute the .rds to all the executor and then call readRDS 
from within your UDF?

I understand this approach has been done quite a bit.

> For eg, I am getting streams from Kafka and I want to implement a model made 
> in R for those streams. For this, I am using dapply.
> My code is:
> iris_model <- readRDS("./iris_model.rds")
> randomBr <- SparkR:::broadcast(sc, iris_model)
> kafka <- read.stream("kafka",subscribe = "source", kafka.bootstrap.servers = 
> "localhost:9092", topic = "source")
> lines<- select(kafka, cast(kafka$value, "string"))
> schema<-schema(lines)
> df1<-dapply(lines,function(x){
> i_model<-SparkR:::value(randomMatBr)
> for (row in 1:nrow(x))
> { y<-fromJSON(as.character(x[row,"value"])) y$predict=predict(i_model,y) 
> y<-toJSON(y) x[row,"value"] = y }
> x
> },schema)
> Every time when Kafka streams are fetched the dapply method creates new 
> runner thread and ships the variables again, which causes a huge lag(~2s for 
> shipping model) every time. I even tried without broadcast variables but it 
> takes same time to ship variables. Can some other techniques be applied to 
> improve its performance?
