let's me describe my scene:
----------------------
i have 8 machines (24 core , 16G memory, per machine) of spark cluster and
tachyon cluster. On tachyon, I create one table which contains 800M data,
when i run query sql on shark, it will cost 2.43s, but when i create the
same table on spark memory , i run the same sql , it will cost 1.56s.
data on tachyon cost more time than data on spark memory. they all have
150 map process, and per node 16-20 map process.
I think the reason is that when data is on tachyon, shark will let spark
slave load data from tachyon salve which is on the same node with tachyon
slave,
i have tried to set some configuration to tune shark and tachyon, but still
can not make the former more fast than 2.43s.
do anyone have some ideas ?
By the way , my tachyon block size is 1GB now, i want to reset block size
, will it work by setting tachyon.user.default.block.size.byte=8M ? if
not, what does tachyon.user.default.block.size.byte mean?
