Rui Li created HIVE-7540: ---------------------------- Summary: NotSerializableException encountered when using sortByKey transformation Key: HIVE-7540 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7540 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Environment: Spark-1.0.1 Reporter: Rui Li
This exception is thrown when sortByKey is used as the shuffle transformation between MapWork and ReduceWork: {quote} org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task not serializable: java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.hadoop.io.BytesWritable at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$failJobAndIndependentStages(DAGScheduler.scala:1049) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$abortStage$1.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:1033) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$abortStage$1.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:1031) at scala.collection.mutable.ResizableArray$class.foreach(ResizableArray.scala:59) at scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer.foreach(ArrayBuffer.scala:47) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.abortStage(DAGScheduler.scala:1031) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitMissingTasks(DAGScheduler.scala:772) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage(DAGScheduler.scala:715) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage$4.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:719) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler$$anonfun$org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage$4.apply(DAGScheduler.scala:718) at scala.collection.immutable.List.foreach(List.scala:318) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$submitStage(DAGScheduler.scala:718) at org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.handleJobSubmitted(DAGScheduler.scala:699) … {quote} The root cause is that the RangePartitioner used by sortByKey contains rangeBounds: Array[BytesWritable], which is considered not serializable in spark. A workaround to this issue is to set the number of partitions to 1 when calling sortByKey, in which case the rangeBounds will be just an empty array. NO PRECOMMIT TESTS. This is for spark branch only. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
