Anthony Sciola created SPARK-18098: -------------------------------------- Summary: Broadcast creates 1 instance / core, not 1 instance / executor Key: SPARK-18098 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18098 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 2.0.1 Reporter: Anthony Sciola
I've created my spark executors with $SPARK_HOME/sbin/start-slave.sh -c 7 -m 55g When I run a job which broadcasts data, it appears each *thread* requests and receives a copy of the broadcast object, not each *executor*. This means I need 7x as much memory for the broadcasted item because I have 7 cores. The problem appears to be due to a lack of synchronization around requesting broadcast items. The only workaround I've come up with is writing the data out to HDFS, broadcasting the paths, and doing a synchronized load from HDFS. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
