[SPARK-6076][Block Manager] Fix a potential OOM issue when StorageLevel is MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER In https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/dcd1e42d6b6ac08d2c0736bf61a15f515a1f222b/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/storage/BlockManager.scala#L538 , when StorageLevel is `MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER`, it will copy the content from file into memory, then put it into MemoryStore. ``` scala val copyForMemory = ByteBuffer.allocate(bytes.limit) copyForMemory.put(bytes) memoryStore.putBytes(blockId, copyForMemory, level) bytes.rewind() ``` However, if the file is bigger than the free memory, OOM will happen. A better approach is testing if there is enough memory. If not, copyForMemory should not be created, since this is an option operation.
