Liang-Chi Hsieh commented on SPARK-17556:
-----------------------------------------

Actually I am hesitant to add the feature to handle the case you said. One 
reason is, I don't think it is highly possible to have the case. It only occurs 
when the executor exists before its piece of object data is fetched by other 
executors. 

I prefer to add a config to enable the executor side broadcast and add the 
detailed document.

> Currently in Spark SQL, in order to perform a broadcast join, the driver must 
> collect the result of an RDD and then broadcast it. This introduces some 
> extra latency. It might be possible to broadcast directly from executors.
