> In a large deployment of a Spark compute infrastructure, Spark shuffle is
> becoming a potential scaling bottleneck and a source of inefficiency in the
> cluster. When doing Spark on YARN for a large-scale deployment, people
> usually enable Spark external shuffle service and store the intermediate
> shuffle files on HDD. Because the number of blocks generated for a particular
> shuffle grows quadratically compared to the size of shuffled data (# mappers
> and reducers grows linearly with the size of shuffled data, but # blocks is #
> mappers * # reducers), one general trend we have observed is that the more
> data a Spark application processes, the smaller the block size becomes. In a
> few production clusters we have seen, the average shuffle block size is only
> 10s of KBs. Because of the inefficiency of performing random reads on HDD for
> small amount of data, the overall efficiency of the Spark external shuffle
> services serving the shuffle blocks degrades as we see an increasing # of
> Spark applications processing an increasing amount of data. In addition,
> because Spark external shuffle service is a shared service in a multi-tenancy
> cluster, the inefficiency with one Spark application could propagate to other
> applications as well.
> In this ticket, we propose a solution to improve Spark shuffle efficiency in
> above mentioned environments with push-based shuffle. With push-based
> shuffle, shuffle is performed at the end of mappers and blocks get pre-merged
> and move towards reducers. In our prototype implementation, we have seen
> significant efficiency improvements when performing large shuffles. We take a
> Spark-native approach to achieve this, i.e., extending Spark’s existing
> shuffle netty protocol, and the behaviors of Spark mappers, reducers and
> drivers. This way, we can bring the benefits of more efficient shuffle in
> Spark without incurring the dependency or overhead of either specialized
> storage layer or external infrastructure pieces.
