Well it will be difficult to say anything without knowing func. It could be that 40 cores and 200 gb for an executor is not a setup that suits the func and the overall architecture.
It could be also GC collection issues etc. Sometimes it also does not help to throw hardware at the issue. It depends really on the processing pipeline. > Am 11.03.2019 um 08:50 schrieb Hough, Stephen C <stephenc.ho...@sc.com>: > > Thanks > > There is no issue on the worker/executor side they have ample memory > 200GB, > I gave that information as background to the system apologies for the > confusion. > > The problem is isolated to the lifetime of processing a DriverEndpoint > StatusUpdate message.
