             Summary: Missing persist on ratings on ratings in 
ml.recommendation.ALS.train
                 Key: SPARK-29828
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29828
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: ML
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
            Reporter: Dong Wang


There is a ratings.isEmpty() in ml.recommendation.ALS.train(). Actually, 
isEmpty() has an action operator.

{code:scala}
  def isEmpty(): Boolean = withScope {
    partitions.length == 0 || take(1).length == 0
  }
{code}

So rdd ratings will be used by multi actions, it should be persisted, and 
unpersisted after its child rdd has been persisted.

{code:scala}
  def train[ID: ClassTag]( // scalastyle:ignore
      ratings: RDD[Rating[ID]],
    ...
    require(!ratings.isEmpty(), s"No ratings available from $ratings") // first 
use ratings
    ...
    val blockRatings = partitionRatings(ratings, userPart, itemPart)
      .persist(intermediateRDDStorageLevel)
    val (userInBlocks, userOutBlocks) =
      makeBlocks("user", blockRatings, userPart, itemPart, 
intermediateRDDStorageLevel)
    userOutBlocks.count()    // materialize blockRatings and user blocks
    // ratings should be unpersisted here
{code}

This issue is reported by our tool CacheCheck, which is used to dynamically 
detecting persist()/unpersist() api misuses.
