Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-1476:
------------------------------------
[~mridulm80] can you post an update on this?
I think it is a great idea to provide a buffer abstraction that can be backed
by various buffer implementations (nio.ByteBuffer, Netty ByteBuf, on disk file
region). I would like to make this happen for 1.2.

> The underlying abstraction for blocks in spark is a ByteBuffer : which limits
> the size of the block to 2GB.
> This has implication not just for managed blocks in use, but also for shuffle
> blocks (memory mapped blocks are limited to 2gig, even though the api allows
> for long), ser-deser via byte array backed outstreams (SPARK-1391), etc.
> This is a severe limitation for use of spark when used on non trivial
> datasets.
