Hyukjin Kwon updated SPARK-44705: --------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 4.0.0 > Make PythonRunner single-threaded > --------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-44705 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44705 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: PySpark > Affects Versions: 3.5.0 > Reporter: Utkarsh Agarwal > Assignee: Utkarsh Agarwal > Priority: Major > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > > PythonRunner, a utility that executes Python UDFs in Spark, uses two threads > in a producer-consumer model today. This multi-threading model is problematic > and confusing as Spark's execution model within a task is commonly understood > to be single-threaded. > More importantly, this departure of a double-threaded execution resulted in a > series of customer issues involving [race > conditions|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-33277] and > [deadlocks|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-38677] between threads > as the code was hard to reason about. There have been multiple attempts to > reign in these issues, viz., [fix > 1|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22535], [fix > 2|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/30177], [fix > 3|https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/243c321db2f02f6b4d926114bd37a6e74c2be185]. > Moreover, the fixes have made the code base somewhat abstruse by introducing > multiple daemon [monitor > threads|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/a3a32912be04d3760cb34eb4b79d6d481bbec502/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/api/python/PythonRunner.scala#L579] > to detect deadlocks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
