             Summary: PySpark: Java heap space issue despite apparently being 
within memory limits
                 Key: SPARK-20809
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20809
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PySpark
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
         Environment: Linux x86_64
            Reporter: James Porritt


I have the following script:

{code}
import itertools
import loremipsum
from pyspark import SparkContext, SparkConf
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

conf = SparkConf().set("spark.cores.max", "16") \
    .set("spark.driver.memory", "16g") \
    .set("spark.executor.memory", "16g") \
    .set("spark.executor.memory_overhead", "16g") \
    .set("spark.driver.maxResultsSize", "0")

sc = SparkContext(appName="testRDD", conf=conf)
ss = SparkSession(sc)

j = itertools.cycle(range(8))
rows = [(i, j.next(), ' '.join(map(lambda x: x[2], 
loremipsum.generate_sentences(600)))) for i in range(500)] * 100
rrd = sc.parallelize(rows, 128)
{code}

When I run it with:
{noformat}
<system path>/spark-2.1.1-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/spark-submit <home 
directory>/writeTest.py
{noformat}

it fails with a 'Java heap space' error:

{noformat}

The data I create here approximates my actual data. The third element of each 
tuple should be around 25k, and there are 50k tuples overall. I estimate that I 
should have around 1.2G of data. 

Why then does it fail? All parts of the system should have enough memory?
