Andrew Or updated SPARK-8716:
-----------------------------
Target Version/s: (was: 1.6.0)
> Write tests for executor shared cache feature
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-8716
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8716
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Spark Core, Tests
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Andrew Or
>
> More specifically, this is the feature that is currently flagged by
> `spark.files.useFetchCache`.
> This is a complicated feature that has no tests. I cannot say with confidence
> that it actually works on all cluster managers. In particular, I believe it
> doesn't work on Mesos because whatever goes into this else case creates its
> own temp directory per executor:
> https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/881662e9c93893430756320f51cef0fc6643f681/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/util/Utils.scala#L739.
> It's also not immediately clear that it works on standalone mode due to the
> lack of comments. It actually does work there because the Worker happens to
> set a `SPARK_EXECUTOR_DIRS` variable. The linkage could be more explicitly
> documented in the code.
> This is difficult to write tests for, but it's still important to do so.
> Otherwise, semi-related changes in the future may easily break it without
> anyone noticing.
