Ted, That bug was https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15822 and only found as part of running an sql-flights application (not with the unit tests), I don't know if this has anything to do with the regression we're seeing
One update is that we see the same ballpark regression for 1.6.2 vs 2.0 with HiBench (large profile, 25g executor memory, 4g driver), again we will be carefully checking how these benchmarks are being run and what difference the options and configurations can make Cheers, From: Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> To: Adam Roberts/UK/IBM@IBMGB Cc: Michael Allman <mich...@videoamp.com>, dev <dev@spark.apache.org> Date: 08/07/2016 17:26 Subject: Re: Spark 2.0.0 performance; potential large Spark core regression bq. we turned it off when fixing a bug Adam: Can you refer to the bug JIRA ?

These are based on using EC2 c3.8xl workers: .set("spark.sql.shuffle.partitions", "1024") .set("spark.sql.tungsten.enabled", "true") .set("spark.executor.memory", "24g") .set("spark.kryoserializer.buffer.max","1g") .set("spark.sql.codegen.wholeStage", "true") .set("spark.memory.offHeap.enabled", "true") .set("spark.memory.offHeap.size", "25769803776") // 24 GB Some of these are in fact default configurations. Some are not. Michael On Jul 8, 2016, at 9:01 AM, Michael Allman <mich...@videoamp.com> wrote: Hi Adam, >From our experience we've found the default Spark 2.0 configuration to be highly suboptimal. I don't know if this affects your benchmarks, but I would consider running some tests with tuned and alternate configurations.

If not, can you make them available?

Same JDK version and same platform. We will gather a 1.6.2 comparison and increase the scale factor. Has anybody noticed a similar problem? My changes for SparkPerf and Spark 2.0 are very limited and AFAIK don't interfere with Spark core functionality, so any feedback on the changes would be much appreciated and welcome, I'd much prefer it if my changes are the problem. A summary for your convenience follows (this matches what I've mentioned on the SparkPerf issue above) 1. spark-perf/config/config.py : SCALE_FACTOR=0.05 No. Of Workers: 1 Executor per Worker : 1 Executor Memory: 18G Driver Memory : 8G Serializer: kryo 2. $SPARK_HOME/conf/spark-defaults.conf: executor Java Options: -Xdisableexplicitgc -Xcompressedrefs Main changes I made for the benchmark itself Use Scala 2.11.8 and Spark 2.0.0 RC2 on our local filesystem MLAlgorithmTests use Vectors.fromML For streaming-tests in HdfsRecoveryTest we use wordStream.foreachRDD not wordStream.foreach KVDataTest uses awaitTerminationOrTimeout in a SparkStreamingContext instead of awaitTermination Trivial: we use compact not compact.render for outputting json In Spark 2.0 the top five methods where we spend our time is as follows, the percentage is how much of the overall processing time was spent in this particular method: 1. AppendOnlyMap.changeValue 44% 2. SortShuffleWriter.write 19% 3. SizeTracker.estimateSize 7.5% 4. SizeEstimator.estimate 5.36% 5. Range.foreach 3.6% and in 1.5.2 the top five methods are: 1. AppendOnlyMap.changeValue 38% 2. ExternalSorter.insertAll 33% 3. Range.foreach 4% 4. SizeEstimator.estimate 2% 5. SizeEstimator.visitSingleObject 2% I see the following scores, on the left I have the test name followed by the 1.5.2 time and then the 2.0.0 time scheduling throughput: 5.2s vs 7.08s agg by key; 0.72s vs 1.01s agg by key int: 0.93s vs 1.19s agg by key naive: 1.88s vs 2.02 sort by key: 0.64s vs 0.8s sort by key int: 0.59s vs 0.64s scala count: 0.09s vs 0.08s scala count w fltr: 0.31s vs 0.47s This is only running the Spark core tests (scheduling throughput through scala-count-w-filtr, including all inbetween).
