-------------------------------------------------------------
The broadcast was not used correctly in the above code, it should be used like
this:
{code}
broadcast_vals = []
for i in range(5):
datas = [[float(i) for i in range(200)] for i in range(100000)]
val = sc.broadcast(datas)
broadcast_vals.append(val)
sc.parallelize([i for i in range(80)]).map(lambda x: sum([len(val.value) for
val in broadcast_vals])).collect()
{code}
The reference of object in Python driver in not necessary in most cases, we
will make it optional (no reference by default), then it can reduce the memory
used in Python driver.

> PySpark runs out of memory with large broadcast variables
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-1065
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1065
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PySpark
> Affects Versions: 0.7.3, 0.8.1, 0.9.0
> Reporter: Josh Rosen
> Assignee: Davies Liu
>
> PySpark's driver components may run out of memory when broadcasting large
> variables (say 1 gigabyte).
> Because PySpark's broadcast is implemented on top of Java Spark's broadcast
> by broadcasting a pickled Python as a byte array, we may be retaining
> multiple copies of the large object: a pickled copy in the JVM and a
> deserialized copy in the Python driver.
> The problem could also be due to memory requirements during pickling.
> PySpark is also affected by broadcast variables not being garbage collected.
> Adding an unpersist() method to broadcast variables may fix this:
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/543.
> As a first step to fixing this, we should write a failing test to reproduce
> the error.
> This was discovered by [~sandy]: ["trouble with broadcast variables on
> pyspark"|http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/trouble-with-broadcast-variables-on-pyspark-tp1301.html].
