-------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
> Uncaught exception from Akka scheduler
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-1620
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1620
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0, 1.0.0
> Reporter: Mark Hamstra
> Priority: Blocker
>
> I've been looking at this one in the context of a BlockManagerMaster that
> OOMs and doesn't respond to heartBeat(), but I suspect that there may be
> problems elsewhere where we use Akka's scheduler.
> The basic nature of the problem is that we are expecting exceptions thrown
> from a scheduled function to be caught in the thread where
> _ActorSystem_.scheduler.schedule() or scheduleOnce() has been called. In
> fact, the scheduled function runs on its own thread, so any exceptions that
> it throws are not caught in the thread that called schedule() -- e.g.,
> unanswered BlockManager heartBeats (scheduled in BlockManager#initialize)
> that end up throwing exceptions in BlockManagerMaster#askDriverWithReply do
> not cause those exceptions to be handled by the Executor thread's
> UncaughtExceptionHandler.
