> fix the potential OOM in UnsafeExternalSorter
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-21033
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21033
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Wenchen Fan
> Assignee: Wenchen Fan
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.3.0
>
>
> In `UnsafeInMemorySorter`, one record may take 32 bytes: 1 `long` for
> pointer, 1 `long` for key-prefix, and another 2 `long`s as the temporary
> buffer for radix sort.
> In `UnsafeExternalSorter`, we set the
> `DEFAULT_NUM_ELEMENTS_FOR_SPILL_THRESHOLD` to be `1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2`,
> and hoping the max size of point array to be 8 GB. However this is wrong,
> `1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2 * 32` is actually 16 GB, and if we grow the point
> array before reach this limitation, we may hit the max-page-size error.
> Users may see exception like this on large dataset:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot allocate a page with
> more than 17179869176 bytes
