Github user koertkuipers commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/735#issuecomment-42896061 hey matei, i think they always had this feature in kryo, at least in 2.x. created jira here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1811 only reason to be careful with this feature is that there is some overhead on buffer resizing (each time a new array is created with twice the size and the data is copied), which is why i was reluctant to make the old setting as a max. how about defaults 2MB for initial and 16MB for max?
