Joao Duarte commented on SPARK-17381:
-------------------------------------
Oh, I see. I'll change the Issue type from Bug to Improvement and leave the
suggestion that there should be an option to disabling sending these string to
the driver, or at least truncate them to a reasonable size.
Thanks again for your help!
> Memory leak org.apache.spark.sql.execution.ui.SQLTaskMetrics
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-17381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17381
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: EMR 5.0.0 (submitted as yarn-client)
> Java Version 1.8.0_101 (Oracle Corporation)
> Scala Version version 2.11.8
> Problem also happens when I run locally with similar versions of java/scala.
> OS: Ubuntu 16.04
> Reporter: Joao Duarte
>
> I am running a Spark Streaming application from a Kinesis stream. After some
> hours running it gets out of memory. After a driver heap dump I found two
> problems:
> 1) huge amount of org.apache.spark.sql.execution.ui.SQLTaskMetrics (It seems
> this was a problem before:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11192);
> To replicate the org.apache.spark.sql.execution.ui.SQLTaskMetrics leak just
> needed to run the code below:
> {code}
> val dstream = ssc.union(kinesisStreams)
> dstream.foreachRDD((streamInfo: RDD[Array[Byte]]) => {
> val toyDF = streamInfo.map(_ =>
> (1, "data","more data "
> ))
> .toDF("Num", "Data", "MoreData" )
> toyDF.agg(sum("Num")).first().get(0)
> }
> )
> {code}
> 2) huge amount of Array[Byte] (9Gb+)
> After some analysis, I noticed that most of the Array[Byte] where being
> referenced by objects that were being referenced by SQLTaskMetrics. The
> strangest thing is that those Array[Byte] were basically text that were
> loaded in the executors, so they should never be in the driver at all!
> Still could not replicate the 2nd problem with a simple code (the original
> was complex with data coming from S3, DynamoDB and other databases). However,
> when I debug the application I can see that in Executor.scala, during
> reportHeartBeat(), the data that should not be sent to the driver is being
> added to "accumUpdates" which, as I understand, will be sent to the driver
> for reporting.
> To be more precise, one of the taskRunner in the loop "for (taskRunner <-
> runningTasks.values().asScala)" contains a GenericInternalRow with a lot of
> data that should not go to the driver. The path would be in my case:
> taskRunner.task.metrics.externalAccums[2]._list[0]. This data is similar (if
> not the same) to the data I see when I do a driver heap dump.
> I guess that if the org.apache.spark.sql.execution.ui.SQLTaskMetrics leak is
> fixed I would have less of this undesirable data in the driver and I could
> run my streaming app for a long period of time, but I think there will always
> be some performance lost.
