Github user liyezhang556520 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2956#issuecomment-61047597 Since checkpoint will be done recursively on RDD parents, we need to avoid one RDD traversed for multiple times. E.g. for following lineage: A -- B -- C -- D -- E `-- F --' When we call E.count(), we shall avoid traverse A and B for twice, since there are two path to these two nodes: EDCBA and EDFBA. Or else the traverse time will increase exponentially.
