Bogdan Ghit commented on SPARK-6112:
------------------------------------

Is it possible to share an RDD across different jobs? I tried to save an RDD in 
/tmp/spark-hdfs which is set to LAZY_PERSIST, but the blocks go to disk, rather 
than to tmpfs. Also, all properties spark.offHeapStore.* should be changed to 
spark.externalBlockStore.*.



> Provide external block store support through HDFS RAM_DISK

> HDFS Lazy_Persist policy provide possibility to cache the RDD off_heap in 
> hdfs. We may want to provide similar capacity to Tachyon by leveraging hdfs 
> RAM_DISK feature, if the user environment does not have tachyon deployed. 
> With this feature, it potentially provides possibility to share RDD in memory 
> across different jobs and even share with jobs other than spark, and avoid 
> the RDD recomputation if executors crash.
