Domagoj commented on SPARK-35089:
---------------------------------

[~revans2], tnx for detailed explanation.

I still have a problem understanding why you dropped only one record. Where did 
other record go?  Why it disappeared? Filtering is the method of removing data, 
not sorting. Sort should not drop any data being ambiguous or not.

So if we look at Task 1 (sorting 1, redundant if you ask me, there is no point 
of sorting when column data is equal) and task 2 before applying filter for 
duration, they both have all 3 rows.

And after filtering, task 1 have both record, but sorting 2 lost the one with 
big duration? How can that happen? I cannot understand relation between sorting 
and missing data.

I believe you (and tried and it worked) that adding monotonically_increasing_id 
helps, but cannot understand why? 

If one worker has calculated duration with window function, next step should 
just remove rows where filter condition is not satisfied, regarding of sorting 
data.

It look to me that sorting have some implications with data exchange between 
worker nodes, but I cannot understand how. 

 

So, because data is missing because of strange reasons, I still believe that 
this is something that should be taken care of in code, instead of users who 
should remember that this is danger situation.

It looks that we should add id for every dataset to be sure that this will not 
happen. This will sure slow process down, and is prone to errors (forgot to add 
or something like that).

Furthermore, it is interesting that there is no problems on single instance 
jobs.

> I have make it  simpler to reproduce; I've put already generated data on s3

> val w = Window.partitionBy("user").orderBy("start")

> I have found an inconsistency with count function results after lead window 
> function and filter.
>  
> I have a dataframe (this is simplified version, but it's enough to reproduce) 
> with millions of records, with these columns:
>  * df1:
>  ** start(timestamp)
>  ** user_id(int)
>  ** type(string)
> I need to define duration between two rows, and filter on that duration and 
> type. I used window lead function to get the next event time (that define end 
> for current event), so every row now gets start and stop times. If NULL (last 
> row for example), add next midnight as stop. Data is stored in ORC file 
> (tried with Parquet format, no difference)
> This only happens with multiple cluster nodes, for example AWS EMR cluster or 
> local docker cluster setup. If I run it on single instance (local on laptop), 
> I get consistent results every time. Spark version is 3.0.1, both in AWS and 
> local and docker setup.
> Here is some simple code that you can use to reproduce it, I've used 
> jupyterLab notebook on AWS EMR. Spark version is 3.0.1.

> // if null, replace with 30.000.000
> val ts_lead = coalesce(lead("start", 1) .over(w), lit(30000000))
> // read data to dataframe, create stop column and calculate duration
> val fox2 = spark.read.orc("hdfs:///random.orc").
>     withColumn("end", ts_lead).
>     withColumn("duration", col("end")-col("start"))
> // repeated executions of this line returns different results for count 
> // I have it in separate cell in JupyterLab
> fox2.where("type='TypeA' and duration>4").count()
> {code}
> My results for three consecutive runs of last line were:
>  * run 1: 2551259
>  * run 2: 2550756
>  * run 3: 2551279
> It's very important to say that if I use filter:
> fox2.where("type='TypeA' ")
> or 
> fox2.where("duration>4"),
>  
> each of them can be executed repeatedly and I get consistent result every 
> time.
> I can save dataframe after crating stop and duration columns, and after that, 
> I get consistent results every time.
> It is not very practical workaround, as I need a lot of space and time to 
> implement it.
> This dataset is really big (in my eyes at least, aprox 100.000.000 new 
> records per day).
> If I run this same example on my local machine using master = local[*], 
> everything works as expected, it's just on cluster setup. I tried to create 
> cluster using docker on my local machine, created 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 clusters 
> with one master and two workers, and have successfully reproduced issue.
