Aaron Davidson commented on SPARK-6962:
---------------------------------------
I created SPARK-7003 to track a fix to the potential problem I noted, and a PR
to follow: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/5584
If it would be possible to pull in that patch, it either may fix the issue
you're seeing (by performing retries in the event of network faults) or at
least fail after a few minutes rather than hanging indefinitely -- either
result would be interesting.
> Netty BlockTransferService hangs in the middle of SQL query
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-6962
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6962
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.3.0
> Reporter: Jon Chase
> Attachments: jstacks.txt

> Spark SQL queries (though this seems to be a Spark Core issue - I'm just
> using queries in the REPL to surface this, so I mention Spark SQL) hang
> indefinitely under certain (not totally understood) circumstances.
> This is resolved by setting spark.shuffle.blockTransferService=nio, which
> seems to point to netty as the issue. Netty was set as the default for the
> block transport layer in 1.2.0, which is when this issue started. Setting
> the service to nio allows queries to complete normally.
> I do not see this problem when running queries over smaller (~20 5MB files)
> datasets. When I increase the scope to include more data (several hundred
> ~5MB files), the queries will get through several steps but eventuall hang
> indefinitely.
