>                 Key: SPARK-30666
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30666
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
>            Reporter: Enrico Minack
>            Priority: Major

> This proposes a pragmatic improvement to allow for reliable single-stage 
> accumulators. Under the assumption that a given stage / partition / rdd 
> produces identical results, non-deterministic code incrementing accumulators 
> also produces identical accumulator increments on success. Rerunning 
> partitions for any reason should always produce the same increments on 
> success.
> With this pragmatic approach, increments from individual partitions / tasks 
> are compared to earlier increments. Depending on the strategy of how a new 
> increment updates over an earlier increment from the same partition, 
> different semantics of accumulators (here called accumulator modes) can be 
> implemented:
>  - ALL sums over all increments of each partition: this represents the 
> current implementation of accumulators
>  - MAX over all increments of each partition: assuming accumulators only 
> increment while a partition is processed, a successful task provides an 
> accumulator value that is always larger than any value of failed tasks, hence 
> it paramounts any failed task's value. This produces reliable accumulator 
> values. This should only be used in a single stage.
>  - LAST increment: allows to retrieve the latest increment for each partition 
> only.
> The implementation for MAX and LAST requires extra memory that scales with 
> the number of partitions. The current ALL implementation does not require 
> extra memory.
