Maybe looking into something like Tachyon would help, I see some sample c++ bindings, not sure how much of the current functionality they support... Hi, Robin, Thanks for your reply and thanks for copying my question to user mailing list. Yes, we have a distributed C++ application, that will store data on each node in the cluster, and we hope to leverage Spark to do more fancy analytics on those data. But we need high performance, that’s why we want shared memory. Suggestions will be highly appreciated!

Spark is a distributed processing system, it has multiple JVMs running on different machines that each run a small part of the overall processing. Unless you have some sort of idea to have multiple C++ processes collocated with the distributed JVMs using named memory mapped files doesn’t make architectural sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin East *Spark GraphX in Action* Michael Malak and Robin East Manning Publications Co. http://www.manning.com/books/spark-graphx-in-action On 6 Dec 2015, at 20:43, Jia <jacqueline...@gmail.com> wrote: Dears, for one project, I need to implement something so Spark can read data from a C++ process. To provide high performance, I really hope to implement this through shared memory between the C++ process and Java JVM process. It seems it may be possible to use named memory mapped files and JNI to do this, but I wonder whether there is any existing efforts or more efficient approach to do this? Thank you very much!
