Yan Ma created SPARK-48694: ------------------------------ Summary: Manage memory used by external cache Key: SPARK-48694 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-48694 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 3.5.1, 3.4.0, 3.3.1 Environment: We have a scenario that use Spark together with a 3rd party file source cache, which is an independent lib and has its internal logic for cache entry creation, eviction and remove. Currently we allocate dedicated memory for this cache but the problem is that the memory can't be shared along with Spark execution/storage memory. It will be more effective for memory usage if we can count it in the _*UnifiedMemoryManager*_ and include it in memory spill logic.
We also have a requirement of memory management for a native RDD cache implementation. The existing interfaces in _*MemoryStore*_ is generally bound with Spark SerializerManager and BlockEvictionHandler. It's not easy to extend for such customized RDD cache. For both of above requirements, we can provide a common memory register for external memory usage, beyond current RDD cache in storage memory.
