Github user saucam commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2841#issuecomment-61052070 yes. In task side metadata strategy, the tasks are spawned first, and each task will then read the metadata and drop the row groups. So if I am using yarn, and data is huge (metadata is large) , the memory will be consumed on the yarn side , but in case of client side metadata strategy, whole of the metadata will be read before the tasks are spawned, on a single node.
