Summary: Fix issues with consolidated shuffle Key: SPARK-2532 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2532 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Environment: All Reporter: Mridul Muralidharan Assignee: Mridul Muralidharan Priority: Critical Fix For: 1.1.0 Will file PR with changes as soon as merge is done (earlier merge became outdated in 2 weeks unfortunately :) ). Consolidated shuffle is broken in multiple ways in spark : a) Task failure(s) can cause the state to become inconsistent. b) Multiple revert's or combination of close/revert/close can cause the state to be inconsistent. (As part of exception/error handling). c) Some of the api in block writer causes implementation issues - for example: a revert is always followed by close : but the implemention tries to keep them separate, resulting in surface for errors. d) Fetching data from consolidated shuffle files can go badly wrong if the file is being actively written to : it computes length by subtracting next offset from current offset (or length if this is last offset)- the latter fails when fetch is happening in parallel to write. Note, this happens even if there are no task failures of any kind ! This usually results in stream corruption or decompression errors. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
