Wenchen Fan commented on SPARK-21033:
-------------------------------------

[~clehene] I think you hit a different issue. By looking at the stacktrace, 
seems your task failed because of running out of memory. There can be 2 
possible reasons: 1) you have too many tasks running in one executor and the 
executor doesn't have enough memory. 2) a memory leak bug in Spark. Feel free 
to create a new ticket for it.

> In `UnsafeInMemorySorter`, one record may take 32 bytes: 1 `long` for 
> pointer, 1 `long` for key-prefix, and another 2 `long`s as the temporary 
> buffer for radix sort.
> In `UnsafeExternalSorter`, we set the 
> `DEFAULT_NUM_ELEMENTS_FOR_SPILL_THRESHOLD` to be `1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2`, 
> and hoping the max size of point array to be 8 GB. However this is wrong, 
> `1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2 * 32` is actually 16 GB, and if we grow the point 
> array before reach this limitation, we may hit the max-page-size error.
> Users may see exception like this on large dataset:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot allocate a page with 
> more than 17179869176 bytes
