> Dynamic allocation will preserve cached data
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-21097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21097
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Block Manager, Scheduler, Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.3.0
> Reporter: Brad
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: Preserving Cached Data with Dynamic Allocation.pdf
>
>
> We want to use dynamic allocation to distribute resources among many notebook
> users on our spark clusters. One difficulty is that if a user has cached data
> then we are either prevented from de-allocating any of their executors, or we
> are forced to drop their cached data, which can lead to a bad user experience.
> We propose adding a feature to preserve cached data by copying it to other
> executors before de-allocation. This behavior would be enabled by a simple
> spark config. Now when an executor reaches its configured idle timeout,
> instead of just killing it on the spot, we will stop sending it new tasks,
> replicate all of its rdd blocks onto other executors, and then kill it. If
> there is an issue while we replicate the data, like an error, it takes too
> long, or there isn't enough space, then we will fall back to the original
> behavior and drop the data and kill the executor.
> This feature should allow anyone with notebook users to use their cluster
> resources more efficiently. Also since it will be completely opt-in it will
> unlikely to cause problems for other use cases.
