             Summary: unpersist() ignoring cache/persist()
                 Key: SPARK-29035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29035
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Input/Output
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
         Environment: Amazon EMR - Spark 2.4.3
            Reporter: Jose Silva


Calling unpersist(), even though the DataFrame is not used anymore removes all 
the InMemoryTableScan from the DAG.

 

Here's a simplified version of the code i'm using:

 

df = spark.read(...).where(...).cache()

df_a = union(df.select(...), df.select(...), df.select(...))

df_b = df.select(...)

df_c = df.select(...)

df_d = df.select(...)

df.unpersist()

join(df_a, df_b, df_c, df_d).write()

 

 

I've created an [album |https://imgur.com/a/c1xGq0r]with the two DAGs, with and 
without the unpersist() call.

 

I call unpersist in order to prevent OoM during the join. From what I 
understand even though all the DataFrames come from df, unpersisting df after 
doing the selects shouldn't ignore the cache call, right?
