--------------------------------------
Summary: Broadcast all shared parts of tasks (to reduce task
serialization time)
Key: SPARK-19108
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19108
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Scheduler
Reporter: Kay Ousterhout
Expand the amount of information that's broadcasted for tasks, to avoid
serializing data per-task that should only be sent to each executor once for
the entire stage.
Conceptually, this means we'd have new classes specially for sending the
minimal necessary data to the executor, like:
{code}
/**
* metadata about the taskset needed by the executor for all tasks in this
taskset. Subset of the
* full data kept on the driver to make it faster to serialize and send to
executors.
*/
class ExecutorTaskSetMeta(
val stageId: Int,
val stageAttemptId: Int,
val properties: Properties,
val addedFiles: Map[String, String],
val addedJars: Map[String, String]
// maybe task metrics here?
)
class ExecutorTaskData(
val partitionId: Int,
val attemptNumber: Int,
val taskId: Long,
val taskBinary: Broadcast[Array[Byte]],
val taskSetMeta: Broadcast[ExecutorTaskSetMeta]
)
{code}
Then all the info you'd need to send to the executors would be a serialized
version of ExecutorTaskData. Furthermore, given the simplicity of that class,
you could serialize manually, and then for each task you could just modify the
first two ints & one long directly in the byte buffer. (You could do the same
trick for serialization even if ExecutorTaskSetMeta was not a broadcast, but
that will keep the msgs small as well.)
There a bunch of details I'm skipping here: you'd also need to do some special
handling for the TaskMetrics; the way tasks get started in the executor would
change; you'd also need to refactor {{Task}} to let it get reconstructed from
this information (or add more to ExecutorTaskSetMeta); and probably other
details I'm overlooking now.
