Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-13980: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Apache Spark (was: Josh Rosen) > Incrementally serialize blocks while unrolling them in MemoryStore > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-13980 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13980 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Block Manager > Reporter: Josh Rosen > Assignee: Apache Spark > > When a block is persisted in the MemoryStore at a serialized storage level, > the current MemoryStore.putIterator() code will unroll the entire iterator as > Java objects in memory, then will turn around and serialize an iterator > obtained from the unrolled array. This is inefficient and doubles our peak > memory requirements. Instead, I think that we should incrementally serialize > blocks while unrolling them. A downside to incremental serialization is the > fact that we will need to deserialize the partially-unrolled data in case > there is not enough space to unroll the block and the block cannot be dropped > to disk. However, I'm hoping that the memory efficiency improvements will > outweigh any performance losses as a result of extra serialization in that > hopefully-rare case. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
