I'm running a very simple Spark application that downloads files from S3, does a bit of mapping, then uploads new files. Each file is roughly 2MB and is gzip'd. I was running the same code on Amazon's EMR w/Spark and not having any download speed issues (Amazon's EMR provides a custom implementation of the s3n:// file system, FWIW).
When I say exceedingly slow, I mean that it takes about 2 minutes to download and process a 2MB file (this was taking ~2 seconds on the same instance types in Amazon's EMR). When I download the same file from the EC2 machine with wget or curl, it downloads in ~ 1 second. I've also done other bandwidth checks for downloads from other external hosts - no speed problems there. Tried this w/Spark 1.1.0 and 1.1.1. When I do a thread dump on a worker, I typically see this a lot: "Executor task launch worker-7" daemon prio=10 tid=0x00007fd174039000 nid=0x59e9 runnable [0x00007fd1f7dfb000] java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:152) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:122) at sun.security.ssl.InputRecord.readFully(InputRecord.java:442) at sun.security.ssl.InputRecord.read(InputRecord.java:480) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:927) -

I'm using slf4j/logback w/the commons-logging and log4j bridges. Any pointers for getting that turned up to DEBUG would be helpful too. I've tried everything I can think of and am at my wit's end - any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
