---------------------------------------

Hi, [~viirya]. Is this a duplicate of SPARK-29182? Then, could you close this 
since you make a PR there.

> Cache preferred locations of checkpointed RDD

>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0

> One Spark job in our cluster fits many ALS models in parallel. The fitting 
> goes well, but in next when we union all factors, the union operation is very 
> slow.
> By looking into the driver stack dump, looks like the driver spends a lot of 
> time on computing preferred locations. As we checkpoint training data before 
> fitting ALS, the time is spent on 
> ReliableCheckpointRDD.getPreferredLocations. In this method, it will call DFS 
> interface to query file status and block locations. As we have big number of 
> partitions derived from the checkpointed RDD,  the union will spend a lot of 
> time on querying the same information.
> This proposes to add a Spark config to control the caching behavior of 
> ReliableCheckpointRDD.getPreferredLocations. If it is enabled, 
> getPreferredLocations will only compute preferred locations once and cache it 
> for late usage.
