             Summary: Memory leak SortMergeOuterJoin
                 Key: SPARK-13872
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13872
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
            Reporter: Ian


SortMergeJoin composes its partition/iterator from 
org.apache.spark.sql.execution.Sort, which in turns designates the sorting to 
UnsafeExternalRowSorter.
UnsafeExternalRowSorter's implementation cleans up the resources when:
1. org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.util.AbstractScalaRowIterator is fully 
iterated.
2. task is done execution.

In case of outer join case of SortMergeJoin, when the left or right iterator is 
not fully iterated, the only only occasion for the recources to be cleaned up 
is at the end of the spark task. This probably ok most of the time, however 
when a SortMergeOuterJoin is nested within a CartesianProduct, the "deferred" 
resources cleanup becomes an memory leak amplified by the loop driven by the 
CartesianRdd's outter loop iteration.
