Marco Lotz updated SPARK-28850:
-------------------------------
Description:
When making a call to:
{code:java}
sc.binaryFiles(somePath){code}
It creates a BinaryFileRDD. Some sections of that code are run inside the
driver container. The current source code for BinaryFileRDD is available here:
[https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/2d085c13b7f715dbff23dd1f81af45ff903d1a79/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/rdd/BinaryFileRDD.scala
]
The problematic line is:
{code:java}
conf.setIfUnset(FileInputFormat.LIST_STATUS_NUM_THREADS,
Runtime.getRuntime.availableProcessors().toString)
{code}
This line sets the number of Threads to be used (in the case of multi-threading
reading) to the number of cores (including Hyper Threading ones) available one
the driver host machine.
This number is false, since what really matters is the number of cores
allocated to the driver container by YARN and not the number of cores available
in the host machine. This can easily impact the Spark-UI and the driver
application performance, since the number of threads is far bigger than the
true amount of allocated cores - which increases the number of unrequired
preemptions and context switches
The solution is to retrieve the number of cores allocated to the Application
Master by YARN instead.
Once confirmed the problem, I can work on retrieving that information and
making a PR.
