-----------------------------------
Assignee: Wenchen Fan
> UnsafeExternalRowSorter.RowComparator memory leak
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-21319
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21319
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0
> Reporter: James Baker
> Assignee: Wenchen Fan
> Fix For: 2.3.0
>
> Attachments:

>
>
> When we wish to sort within partitions, we produce an
> UnsafeExternalRowSorter. This contains an UnsafeExternalSorter, which
> contains the UnsafeExternalRowComparator.
> The UnsafeExternalSorter adds a task completion listener which performs any
> additional required cleanup. The upshot of this is that we maintain a
> reference to the UnsafeExternalRowSorter.RowComparator until the end of the
> task.
> The RowComparator looks like
> {code:java}
> private static final class RowComparator extends RecordComparator {
> private final Ordering<InternalRow> ordering;
> private final int numFields;
> private final UnsafeRow row1;
> private final UnsafeRow row2;
> RowComparator(Ordering<InternalRow> ordering, int numFields) {
> this.numFields = numFields;
> this.row1 = new UnsafeRow(numFields);
> this.row2 = new UnsafeRow(numFields);
> this.ordering = ordering;
> }
> @Override
> public int compare(Object baseObj1, long baseOff1, Object baseObj2, long
> baseOff2) {
> // TODO: Why are the sizes -1?
> row1.pointTo(baseObj1, baseOff1, -1);
> row2.pointTo(baseObj2, baseOff2, -1);
> return ordering.compare(row1, row2);
> }
> }
> {code}
> which means that this will contain references to the last baseObjs that were
> passed in, and without tracking them for purposes of memory allocation.
> We have a job which sorts within partitions and then coalesces partitions -
> this has a tendency to OOM because of the references to old UnsafeRows that
> were used during the sorting.
> Attached is a screenshot of a memory dump during a task - our JVM has two
> executor threads.
> It can be seen that we have 2 references inside of row iterators, and 11 more
> which are only known in the task completion listener or as part of memory
> management.
