Github user lianhuiwang commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/10024#issuecomment-211953148 @squito Yes, I think your understanding is correct. this PR only support that a Spillables will be called once. The code 'val sort = new Spillable() sort.iterator() sort.iterator()' will be wrong. for ExternalSorter.iterator, I find that is just called by BlockStoreShuffleReader.Read(). Every Reader will create new ExternalSorter, So i think it's ok for it. for ExternalAppendOnlyMap, It has two places that use it.They are Aggregator and CoGroupedRDD. we also can find that it create new ExternalAppendOnlyMap before call one iterator(). So i think it is also ok for it. The input and output of them are Iterator and Iterator cannot be cached, so it will not affect when rdds are cached. BTW: this PR has been running for a long time on our many online spark jobs. If i missed some points, please put forward. It is worth mentioning that
