Github user andrewor14 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/9258#issuecomment-152154426 @zsxwing I took a quick look and I have a high level question. Why not just do the checkpointing iterator? IIUC this approach involves reading the iterator back from disk to return the values. Wouldn't that be potentially expensive? Also, this doesn't fix it for local checkpointing. If we have a general checkpointing iterator, then RDD doesn't have to change much and we don't need to introduce another `CheckpointManager`, which I find a little clunky.
