Imran Rashid updated SPARK-2387:
--------------------------------
Component/s: Scheduler
> Remove the stage barrier for better resource utilization
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-2387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2387
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Scheduler, Spark Core
> Reporter: Rui Li
> Priority: Major
>
> DAGScheduler divides a Spark job into multiple stages according to RDD
> dependencies. Whenever there’s a shuffle dependency, DAGScheduler creates a
> shuffle map stage on the map side, and another stage depending on that stage.
> Currently, the downstream stage cannot start until all its depended stages
> have finished. This barrier between stages leads to idle slots when waiting
> for the last few upstream tasks to finish and thus wasting cluster resources.
> Therefore we propose to remove the barrier and pre-start the reduce stage
> once there're free slots. This can achieve better resource utilization and
> improve the overall job performance, especially when there're lots of
> executors granted to the application.
