Ismaël Mejía updated BEAM-5775:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.14.0
> Make the spark runner not serialize data unless spark is spilling to disk
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-5775
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5775
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: runner-spark
> Reporter: Mike Kaplinskiy
> Assignee: Mike Kaplinskiy
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.14.0
>
> Time Spent: 11h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Currently for storage level MEMORY_ONLY, Beam does not coder-ify the data.
> This lets Spark keep the data in memory avoiding the serialization round
> trip. Unfortunately the logic is fairly coarse - as soon as you switch to
> MEMORY_AND_DISK, Beam coder-ifys the data even though Spark might have chosen
> to keep the data in memory, incurring the serialization overhead.
>
> Ideally Beam would serialize the data lazily - as Spark chooses to spill to
> disk. This would be a change in behavior when using beam, but luckily Spark
> has a solution for folks that want data serialized in memory -
> MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER will keep the data serialized.
