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. > Executor side broadcast for broadcast joins > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-17556 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17556 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Spark Core, SQL > Reporter: Reynold Xin > Attachments: executor broadcast.pdf, executor-side-broadcast.pdf > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
