> OutOfMemoryError on very small data sets
> ----------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-22438
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22438
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
>            Reporter: Morten Hornbech
>            Priority: Critical

> We have a customer that uses Spark as an engine for running SQL on a 
> collection of small datasets, typically no greater than a few thousand rows. 
> Recently we started observing out-of-memory errors on some new workloads. 
> Even though the datasets were only a few kilobytes, the job would almost 
> immediately spike to > 10GB of memory usage, producing an out-of-memory error 
> on the modest hardware (2 CPUs, 16 RAM) that is used. Using larger hardware 
> and allocating more memory to Spark (4 CPUs, 32 RAM) made the job complete, 
> but still with an unreasonable high memory usage.
> The query involved was a left join on two datasets. In some, but not all, 
> cases we were able to remove or reduce the problem by rewriting the query to 
> use an exists sub-select instead. After a lot of debugging we were able to 
> reproduce the problem locally with the following test:
> {code:java}
> case class Data(value: String)
> val session = SparkSession.builder.master("local[1]").getOrCreate()
> import session.implicits._
> val foo = session.createDataset((1 to 500).map(i => Data(i.toString)))
> val bar = session.createDataset((1 to 1).map(i => Data(i.toString)))
> foo.persist(StorageLevel.MEMORY_ONLY)
> foo.createTempView("foo")
> bar.createTempView("bar")
> val result = session.sql("select * from bar left join foo on bar.value = 
> foo.value")
> result.coalesce(2).collect()
> {code}
> Running this produces the error below:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Unable to acquire 28 bytes of memory, got 0

> The exact failure point varies with the number of threads given to spark, the 
> "coalesce" value and the number of rows in "foo". Using an inner join, 
> removing the call to persist, removing the call to coalease (or using 
> repartition) will all independently make the error go away.
> The reason persist and coalesce are used in the workload at all is because it 
> is part of a more general Spark-based processing engine, not limited to these 
> small datasets. Therefore the workaround is not a simple as it may seem, 
> since we cannot tailor the Spark code to this specific case.
