Nicholas Chammas created SPARK-33000: ----------------------------------------
Summary: cleanCheckpoints config does not clean all checkpointed RDDs on shutdown Key: SPARK-33000 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-33000 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.4.6 Reporter: Nicholas Chammas Maybe it's just that the documentation needs to be updated, but I found this surprising: {code:java} $ pyspark ... >>> spark.conf.set('spark.cleaner.referenceTracking.cleanCheckpoints', 'true') >>> spark.sparkContext.setCheckpointDir('/tmp/spark/checkpoint/') >>> a = spark.range(10) >>> a.checkpoint() DataFrame[id: bigint] >>> exit(){code} The checkpoint data is left behind in {{/tmp/spark/checkpoint/}}. I expected Spark to clean it up on shutdown. The documentation for {{spark.cleaner.referenceTracking.cleanCheckpoints}} says: > Controls whether to clean checkpoint files if the reference is out of scope. When Spark shuts down, everything goes out of scope, so I'd expect all checkpointed RDDs to be cleaned up. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
