> Use remote storage for persisting shuffle data
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-25299
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25299
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Shuffle
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Matt Cheah
> Priority: Major
>
> In Spark, the shuffle primitive requires Spark executors to persist data to
> the local disk of the worker nodes. If executors crash, the external shuffle
> service can continue to serve the shuffle data that was written beyond the
> lifetime of the executor itself. In YARN, Mesos, and Standalone mode, the
> external shuffle service is deployed on every worker node. The shuffle
> service shares local disk with the executors that run on its node.
> There are some shortcomings with the way shuffle is fundamentally implemented
> right now. Particularly:
> * If any external shuffle service process or node becomes unavailable, all
> applications that had an executor that ran on that node must recompute the
> shuffle blocks that were lost.
> * Similarly to the above, the external shuffle service must be kept running
> at all times, which may waste resources when no applications are using that
> shuffle service node.
> * Mounting local storage can prevent users from taking advantage of
> desirable isolation benefits from using containerized environments, like
> Kubernetes. We had an external shuffle service implementation in an early
> prototype of the Kubernetes backend, but it was rejected due to its strict
> requirement to be able to mount hostPath volumes or other persistent volume
> setups.
> In the following [architecture discussion
> document|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uCkzGGVG17oGC6BJ75TpzLAZNorvrAU3FRd2X-rVHSM/edit#heading=h.btqugnmt2h40]
> (note: _not_ an SPIP), we brainstorm various high level architectures for
> improving the external shuffle service in a way that addresses the above
> problems. The purpose of this umbrella JIRA is to promote additional
> discussion on how we can approach these problems, both at the architecture
> level and the implementation level. We anticipate filing sub-issues that
> break down the tasks that must be completed to achieve this goal.
