Sean Owen commented on SPARK-15904:
-----------------------------------

Hm, but that only means Spark used a lot of memory, and you gave it permission 
to use a lot of memory -- too much, if you're swapping. That sounds like the 
problem to me. It's happily consuming memory you've told it is there, but it's 
really not. Swapping makes things go very slowly of course.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15904
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: MLlib
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
>         Environment: Mac OS X 10.11.6beta on Macbook Pro 13" mid-2012. 16GB 
> of RAM.
>            Reporter: Alessio
>            Priority: Minor

> Running MLlib K-Means on a ~400MB dataset (12 partitions), persisted on 
> Memory and Disk.
> Everything's fine, although at the end of K-Means, after the number of 
> iterations, the cost function value and the running time there's a nice 
> "Removing RDD <idx> from persistent list" stage. However, during this stage 
> there's a high memory pressure. Weird, since RDDs are about to be removed. 
> Full log of this stage:
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO clustering.KMeans: Run 0 finished in 14 iterations
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO clustering.KMeans: Iterations took 694.544 seconds.
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO clustering.KMeans: KMeans converged in 14 iterations.
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO clustering.KMeans: The cost for the best run is 
> 49784.87126751288.
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO rdd.MapPartitionsRDD: Removing RDD 781 from 
> persistence list
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO storage.BlockManager: Removing RDD 781
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO rdd.MapPartitionsRDD: Removing RDD 780 from 
> persistence list
> 16/06/12 20:37:33 INFO storage.BlockManager: Removing RDD 780
> I'm running this K-Means on a 16GB machine, with Spark Context as local[*]. 
> My machine has an i5 hyperthreaded dual-core, thus [*] means 4.
> I'm launching this application though spark-submit with --driver-memory 9G
